SONG.
I see him part the careless throng,
I catch his eager eye;
He hurries towards me where I wait;—
Beat high, my heart, beat high!
I catch his eager eye;
He hurries towards me where I wait;—
Beat high, my heart, beat high!
I feel the glow upon my cheek,
And all my pulses thrill;
He sees me, passes careless by;—
Be still, my heart, be still!
And all my pulses thrill;
He sees me, passes careless by;—
Be still, my heart, be still!
He takes another hand than mine,
It trembles for his sake;
I see his joy, I feel my doom;—
Break, oh my heart-strings, break!
It trembles for his sake;
I see his joy, I feel my doom;—
Break, oh my heart-strings, break!
