THE GLANCE.
Mine—mine—O Heart, it is thine—
A look, a look of love!
O wonder! O magical charm!
Thou summer-night, silent and warm!
How is it a glance
Can make the heart dance
That was weary and dull before?
Hush! whisper and question no more;
Nor to wind, nor to wave, nor to starlight above
Tell thy joy; let it rest
Like a bird in the nest,
Fall asleep without thinking, content to be blest,
And to know that this world is divine.
It is mine—mine—
O Heart, it is thine—
The glance of love—of love!
