HOW deep within each human heart	A
A thousand treasured feelings lie	B
Things precious delicate apart	A
Too sensitive for human eye	B
	-
Our purest feelings and our best	C
Yet shrinking from the common view	D
Rarely except in song exprest	C
And yet how tender and how true	D
	-
They wake and know their power when eve	E
Flings on the west its transient glow	F
Yet long dark shadows dimly weave	E
A gloom round some green path below	F
	-
Who dreams not then the young dream on	G
Life traced at hope's delicious will	H
And those whose youth of heart is gone	I
Perhaps have visions dearer still	H
	-
They rise too when expected least	C
When gay yourself amid the gay	J
The heart from revelry hath ceased	C
To muse o'er hours long past away	J
	-
And who can think upon the past	C
And not weep o'er it as a grave	K
How many leaves life's wreath has cast	C
What lights have sunk beneath the wave	K
	-
But most these deep emotions rise	L
When drooping o'er our thoughts alone	M
Our former dearest sympathies	N
Come back and claim us for their own	M
	-
Such mood is on the maiden's mind	C
Who bends o'er yon clear fount her brow	O
Long years that leave their trace behind	C
Long years are present with her now	O
	-
Yet once before she asked a sign	P
From that wild fountain's plaintive song	Q
And silvery with the soft moonshine	P
Those singing waters past along	Q
	-
It was an hour of beauty made	C
For the young heart's impassioned mood	C
For love of its sweet self afraid	C
For hope that colours solitude	C
	-
'Alas ' the maiden sighed 'since first	C
I said Oh fountain read my doom	R
What vainest fancies have I nurst	C
Of which I am myself the tomb	R
	-
'The love was checked the hope was vain	S
I deemed that I could feel no more	T
Why false one did we meet again	U
To show thine influence was not o'er	V
	-
'I thought that I could never weep	W
Again as I had wept for thee	X
That love was buried cold and deep	W
That pride and scorn kept watch by me	X
	-
'My early hopes my early tears	Y
Were now almost forgotten things	Z
And other cares and other years	A2
Had brought what all experience brings	Z
	-
'Indifference weariness disdain	S
That taught and ready smile which grows	B2
A habit soon as streams retain	S
The shape and light in which they froze	B2
	-
'Again I met that faithless eye	B
Again I heard that charmed tongue	C2
I felt they were my destiny	X
I knew again the spell they flung	C2
	-
'Ah years have fled since last his name	D2
Was breathed amid the twilight dim	E2
It was to dream of him I came	D2
And now again I dream of him	E2
	-
'But changed and cold my soul has been	F2
Too deeply wrung too long unmoved	C
Too hardened in life's troubled scene	G2
To love as I could once have loved	C
	-
'Sweet fountain once I asked thy waves	H2
To whisper hope's enchanted spell	I2
Now I but ask thy haunted caves	H2
To teach me how to say farewell '	-
	-
She leaned her head upon her hand	C
She gazed upon that fountain lone	M
Which wandered by its wild flower strand	C
With a low mournful ceaseless moan	M
	-
It soothed her with a sweet deceit	C
Of pity murmured on the breeze	N
Ah deep the grief which seeks to cheat	C
Itself with fantasies like these	N
