MINE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: O how my heart is beating as her name I keep
Last Line: For the girl I love is mine!
Alternate Author Name(s): Mulock, Dinah Maria


O HOW my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
And I drink up joy like wine:
O how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
For the lovely girl is mine!
She's rich, she's fair, beyond compare,
Of noble mind, serene and kind --
And how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
For the lovely girl is mine!

O how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
In a music soft and fine;
O how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
For the girl I love is mine.
She owns no lands, has no white hands,
Her lot is poor, her life obscure; --
Yet how my heart is beating as her name I keep repeating,
For the girl I love is mine!
