CXII. I KNOW A NOBLE HEART THAT BEATS.
I know a noble heart that beats
For one it loves how wildly well!
I only know for whom it beats;
But I must never tell—
Never tell!
Hush! hark! how Echo soft repeats,—
Ah! never tell!
For one it loves how wildly well!
I only know for whom it beats;
But I must never tell—
Never tell!
Hush! hark! how Echo soft repeats,—
Ah! never tell!
I know a voice that falters low,
Whene'er one little name 'twould say;
Full well that little name I know,
But that I'll ne'er betray—
Ne'er betray!
Hush! hark! how Echo murmurs low,—
Ah! ne'er betray!
Whene'er one little name 'twould say;
Full well that little name I know,
But that I'll ne'er betray—
Ne'er betray!
Hush! hark! how Echo murmurs low,—
Ah! ne'er betray!
I know a smile that beaming flies
From soul to lip, with rapturous glow,
And I can guess who bids it rise;
But none—but none shall know—
None shall know!
Hush! hark! how Echo faintly sighs—
But none shall know!
From soul to lip, with rapturous glow,
And I can guess who bids it rise;
But none—but none shall know—
None shall know!
Hush! hark! how Echo faintly sighs—
But none shall know!
