Syphonic poetry... do you mean classical music? Only 'song' I can remember now is Vltava by Bedřich Smetana. It's about a river flowing through the countryside and the melody/pace of the 'song' changes as Vltava (the river) flows from its spring to where it joins Labe (another river).

A windharp would be symphonic poetry.
It depends on the listener if he/she would consider the meaning symphonic,
depending on the resonance and the interaction between feelings of the heart and the natural environmental display.
