TO MY SWEETHEART, by                    
First Line: There never was a rose-lipt maiden
Last Line: The glory of you is your heart.
Subject(s): Hearts; Love


THERE never was a rose-lipt maiden
In the world as sweet as you,
Though the lands of earth are laden
With girls both pretty and true;
You are the soul of all beauty,
Of honor and truth you are part,
Your love never quarrels with duty.
The glory of you is your heart.

Your manner is so unassuming
And your soul so peerlessly pure,
That your love my life is illuming
And the light of your love shall endure;
Through the hours your spirit is near me,
Of my soul I have counted it part.
Little girl of my dreams, do you hear me?
The glory of you is your heart.
