Is sigh onomatopoeia?

In the right context, the word "sigh" can be onomatopoetic. The word "sigh" imitates, to a certain degree, what a sigh sounds like. Consider these lines by Theodore Roethke: "I knew a woman, lovely in her bones. When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them..." Birds don't really sigh, of course, but listening to the words, one can feel a sense of the deep silence being hinted at in those lines of poetry.
