A HEART FOR EVERY ONE.
Oh! there's a heart for every one,
If every one could find it;
Then up and seek, ere youth be gone,
Whate'er the toil ne'er mind it!
For if you chance to meet at last
With that one heart, intended
To be a blessing unsurpass'd,
Till life itself is ended,
How would you prize the labour done,
How grieve if you'd resign'd it;
For there's a heart for every one,
If every one could find it.
If every one could find it;
Then up and seek, ere youth be gone,
Whate'er the toil ne'er mind it!
For if you chance to meet at last
With that one heart, intended
To be a blessing unsurpass'd,
Till life itself is ended,
How would you prize the labour done,
How grieve if you'd resign'd it;
For there's a heart for every one,
If every one could find it.
Two hearts are made, the angels say,
To suit each other dearly;
But each one takes a different way,
A way not found so clearly!—
Yet though you seek, and seek for years,
The trouble's worth the taking,
For what the life of home endears
Like hearts of angels' making?
Then haste, and guard the treasure won,
When fondly you've enshrin'd it;
For there's a heart for every one,
If every one could find it?
To suit each other dearly;
But each one takes a different way,
A way not found so clearly!—
