FAITH, by                    
First Line: If I could lay my head upon your heart
Last Line: If I could lay my head upon your heart!
Subject(s): Comfort; Love; Strength; Weariness; Fatigue


If I could lay my head upon your heart
Beloved, 'twould soothe the sting
Of failure—
And I could gather courage for the weary years—
If I could lay my head upon your heart!

If I could lay my head upon your heart
Tonight, dear, 'twould ease the pain
Of disillusionment—
And I could quaff Life's hemlock with a smile—
If I could lay my head upon your heart!
