SONG OF A HEART.
Copyright, 1895, by T. B. Harm* & Co.
By Louise Tunison.
Dear heart, I love you; dear heart, I love you;
All the day I wonder if skies are rich with blue;
O'er you, dear heart, o'er you; o'er you, dear heart, o'er you;
Or bending black with tempest and with thunder, dear heart, dear heart, o'er you.
Dear heart, I love you; dear heart, I love you;
When pale stars are gleaming, sad tears to me and few,
Sad tears to me and few, sad tears to me and few;
I wonder If God's lovelier lights are streaming, dear heart, dear heart, o'er you.
Dear heart, If life had only one bright blossom,
One rose, but one rose to meet the dew,
I'd kiss it, climbing to your restless bosom,
And wear its thorns for you, and wear its thorns for you.
