THE HEART HAS ITS REASONS, by                    
First Line: "sing low, my heart, lest we be overheard"
Last Line: "let not its mockery hurt you. Ah, sing low"


Sing low, my heart, lest we be overheard,
This world is not the Paradise we knew.
Let not its mockery trap us in a word
Or catch one troubled cry from me or you.

Let the deep song be hidden in the deep
Pulse with our life-blood, waking or asleep,
Yours is the knowledge earth can never know.
Let not its mockery hurt you. Ah, sing low.
