I know that deep within your heart of heartsA
You hold me shrined apart from common thingsB
And that my step my voice can bring to youC
A gladness that no other pleasure bringsB
-
And yet dear love through all the weary daysD
You never speak one word of tendernessE
Nor stroke my hair nor softly clasp my handF
Within your own in loving mute caressG
-
You think perhaps I should be all contentH
To know so well the loving place I holdI
Within your life and so you do not dreamJ
How much I long to hear the story toldI
-
You cannot know when we two sit aloneK
And tranquil thoughts within your mind are stirredL
My heart is crying like a tire childM
For one fond look one gentle loving wordL
-
It may be when your eyes look into mineN
You only say 'How dear she is to me '-
Oh could I read it in you softened glanceO
How radiant this plain world would beP
-
Perhaps sometimes you breathe a secret prayerQ
That choicest blessings unto me be givenR
But if you said aloud 'God bless thee dear '-
I should not ask a greater boon from HeavenR
-
I weary sometimes of the rugged wayS
But should you say 'Through thee my life is sweet '-
The dreariest desert that our path could crossT
Would suddenly grow green beneath my feetU
-
'Tis not the boundless waters ocean holdsV
That give refreshment to the thirsty flowersW
But just the drops that rising to the skiesX
From thence descend in softly falling showersW
-
What matter that our granaries are filledY
With all the richest harvest's golden storesZ
If we who own them cannot enter inA2
But famished stand before the close barred doorsZ
-
And so 'tis sad that those who should be richB2
In that true love that crowns our earthly lotC2
Go praying with white lips from day to dayS
For love's sweet tokens and receive them notC2
