Whom yet I cannot hear or see | B |
Come thou and take this loving heart | A |
That longs to yield its all to thee | B |
I call mine own oh come to me | B |
Love answer back I come to thee | B |

This hungry heart so warm so large | C |
Is far too great a care for me | B |
I have grown weary of the charge | C |
I keep so sacredly for thee | B |
Come thou and take my heart from me | B |
Love answer back I come to thee | B |

I am a weary waiting here | D |
For one who tarries long from me | B |

The melody so full of plaintive chords | F |
Sobbed into silence echoing down the strings | G |
Like voice of one who walks from us and sings | G |
Vivian had leaned upon the instrument | H |
The while they sang But as he spoke those words | I |
Love I am near to thee I come to thee | B |
He turned his grand head slowly round and bent | J |
His lustrous soulful speaking gaze on me | B |
And my young heart eager to own its king | K |
Sent to my eyes a great glad trustful light | L |
Of love and faith and hung upon my cheek | M |
Hope's rose hued flag There was no need to speak | M |
I crossed the room and knelt by Helen Sing | K |
That song you sang a fragment of one night | L |
Out on the porch beginning 'Praise me not ' | - |
I whispered and her sweet and plaintive tone | N |
Rose low and tender as if she had caught | O |
From some sad passing breeze and made her own | N |
The echo of the wind harp's sighing strain | P |
Or the soft music of the falling rain | P |
