First Line: I see him part the careless throng
Last Line: Break, oh my heart-strings, break!
Subject(s): Love - Complaints


I SEE him part the careless throng,
I catch his eager eye;
He hurries towards me where I wait; --
Beat high, my heart, beat high!

I feel the glow upon my cheek,
And all my pulses thrill;
He sees me, passes careless by; --
Be still, my heart, be still!

He takes another hand than mine,
It trembles for his sake;
I see his joy, I feel my doom; --
Break, oh my heart-strings, break!
