“Music I Heard” is filled with emotion and words of sadness. Though Music is not the main essence of this poem, it does play a small part. Along with other things, it helps show that his connection with this person was deep and meant a lot to him. This poem is about the death of a loved one and this man’s memories of when she (at least I’m guessing it’s a she) held a glass and touched a table among other memories. You can almost hear the pain portrayed in this poem. The man knows he will always remember her in the things she touched and in his heart. Though this poem is painful and heartbreaking, it is also so very beautiful and filled with love for a person that is now gone. And even though this poem is not long, the emotion flowing beneath it is overwhelming.


Conrad Aiken, poet, essayist, novelist, and critic, was one of America's foremost men of letters and a major figure in American literary modernism. When he was a small boy, his father killed his mother and committed suicide himself, a tragedy that had a profound impact on Aiken's development. He was raised by a great-great-aunt in Massachusetts and graduated from Harvard in 1912.
