UPC: 196288113034. 6.75x10.5x0.036 inches.“The Saddest Noise” is a setting of Emily Dickinson's poem “The Saddest Noise, the Sweetest Noise.” It begins the story of The Lost Birds in spring: the season of birth and renewal, and a time of year when bird songs flood the skies. But what is ordinarily a joyous sound is now riddled with sorrow, as the songs of the remaining birds remind us of the ones we've already lost.
