The Heart of Her
Language: English
The heart of her! It is a violin Which holds all melodies its soul within. Be mine the hand those silent strings to wake To singing for love's sake. The heart of her! It is a folded flower That dreams unconscious of its perfect hour. Were I the sun to rouse it into bliss, With one long ardent kiss!
