First Line: Admit into thy silent breast
Last Line: My child, enough delight.
Subject(s): Hearts
First Line: Admit into thy silent breast
Last Line: My child, enough delight.
Subject(s): Hearts
ADMIT into thy silent breast
The notes of but one bird,
And instantly thy soul will join
In jubilant accord.
The perfume of a single flow'r
Inhale like breath of God,
And in the garden of thy heart
A thousand buds will nod.
Toward one star in heaven's expanse
Direct thy spirit's flight,
And thou wilt have in the wide world,
My child, enough delight.
