IA
-
I cannot heed the words they sayB
The lights grow far away and dimC
Amid the laughing men and maidsD
My eyes unbidden seek for himC
-
I hope that when he smiles at meE
He does not guess my joy and painF
For if he did he is too kindG
To ever look my way againH
-
IIA
-
I have a secret in my heartI
No ears have ever heardJ
And still it sings there day by dayB
Most like a caged birdJ
-
And when it beats against the barsK
I do not set it freeE
For I am happier to knowL
It only sings for meE
-
IIIA
-
I wrote his name along the beachM
I love the letters soL
Far up it seemed and out of reachM
For still the tide was lowL
-
But oh the sea came creeping upN
And washed the name awayB
And on the sand where it had beenO
A bit of sea grass layB
-
A bit of sea grass on the sandP
Dropped from a mermaid's hairQ
Ah had she come to kiss his nameR
And leave a token thereQ
-
IV-
-
What am I that he should love meE
He who stands so far above meE
What am IA
I am like a cowslip turningS
Toward the skyA
Where a planet's golden burningS
Breaks the cowslip's heart with yearningS
What am I that he should love meE
What am IA
-
VE
-
O dreams that flock about my sleepT
I pray you bring my love to meE
And let me think I hear his voiceU
Again ring freeE
-
And if you care to please me wellV
And live to morrow in my mindG
Let him who was so cold beforeW
To night seem kindG
-
VIA
-
I plucked a daisy in the fieldsX
And there beneath the sunY
I let its silver petals fallZ
One after oneY
-
I said He loves me loves me notA2
And oh my heart beat fastB2
The flower was kind it let me sayB
He loves me lastB2
-
I kissed the little leafless stemC2
But oh my poor heart knewD2
The words the flower had said to meE
They were not trueD2
-
VIIA
-
I sent my love a letterE2
And if he loves me notA2
He shall not find my love for himC
In any line or dotA2
-
But if he loves me trulyE
He'll find it hidden deepT
As dawn gleams red thro' chilly cloudsF2
To eyes awaked from sleepT
-
VIIIA
-
The world is cold and gray and wetG2
And I am heavy hearted yetG2
When I am home and look to seeE
The place my letters wait for meE
If I should find ONE letter thereQ
I think I should not greatly careQ
If it were rainy or were fairQ
For all the world would suddenlyE
Seem like a festival to meE
-
IXE
-
I hid three words within my heartI
That longed to fly to himC
At dawn they woke me with a startI
They sang till day was dimC
-
And now at last I let them flyA
As little birds should doD2
And he will know the first is IA
The others Love and YouD2
-
XE
-
Across the twilight's violetH2
His curtained window glimmers goldI2
Oh happy light that round my loveA
Can foldI2
-
Oh happy book within his handP
Oh happy page he glorifiesE
Oh happy little word beneathJ2
His eyesE
-
But oh thrice happy happy IA
Who love him more than songs can tellV
For in the heaven of his heartI
I dwellV
