LOVE'S LANGUAGE
Their little language the children
Have, on the knee as they sit;
And only those who love them
Can find the key to it.
Have, on the knee as they sit;
And only those who love them
Can find the key to it.
The words thereof and the grammar
Perplex the logician's art;
But the heart goes straight with the meaning,
And the meaning is clear to the heart.
Perplex the logician's art;
But the heart goes straight with the meaning,
And the meaning is clear to the heart.
So thou, my Love, hast a language
That, in little, says all to me:—
But the world cannot guess the sweetness
Which is hidden with Love and thee.
That, in little, says all to me:—
But the world cannot guess the sweetness
Which is hidden with Love and thee.
