ECHOES OF JOY by WILLIAM SHARP

First Line: ONLY A SONG OF JOY
Last Line: WIND-BLOWN OVER THE HEATHER.
Subject(s): DEATH; HAPPINESS; LIFE; SINGING & SINGERS; DEAD, THE; JOY; DELIGHT;

Only a song of joy
Wind-blown over the heather,
Somewhere two little hearts
Thrill and throb together.

Ah, far 'mid the nethermost spheres
Life and Death live together;
And deep is their love, without tears,
For they laugh at the shadows of years --
And yet there rings in my ears
Only a song of joy
Wind-blown over the heather.
