There is a sweetness in her voice
Too good for all the world to share;
To them it is a pleasant sound,
To me beyond compare.
Sometimes a single word she says
More soft than wild-rose buds that part;
Sometimes it is a wordless sound
That echoes in my heart.
O sweet! the wind that thrills the pines
Has no such music to my ears;
There is a sweetness in her voice
Too sweet for all to hear.
