HEART OF MINE.
When we both are very weary,
Heart of mine,
And all before is dreary,
Heart of mine,
With never a friend to love us,
And life's sky black above us,
Shall we faint because they prove us,
Heart of mine?
Heart of mine,
And all before is dreary,
Heart of mine,
With never a friend to love us,
And life's sky black above us,
Shall we faint because they prove us,
Heart of mine?
Nay, rather, bear it longer,
Than complain,
The bold resolve is stronger
Than the pain;
Though thou and I do sever,
We will yield our weapons never,
But try the brave endeavour
Yet again.

For the worst that comes to-morrow
Will but mend;
We can bear the deepest sorrow
It can send:
The sun we thought declining,
Behind the cloud is shining,
We can wait without repining
For the end.
