RONDEL by THEOPHILE JULIUS HENRY MARZIALS

First Line: WHEN I SEE YOU MY HEART SINGS
Last Line: WHEN I SEE YOU!
Subject(s): BIRDS; HEARTS; HOPE; LOVE; SINGING & SINGERS; OPTIMISM;

When I see you my heart sings
Deep within me for deep love;
In my deep heart's dreamiest grave
Your bright image comes like Springs,
Bringing back the murmuring dove
To the wan dim watersprings.
Would my tongue could tell the things
Love seems but an echo of
When I see you!
Hope lies dying. Time's disproof
Strips love's roses to the stings;
But the bird that knows its wings
Bear it where it will aloof,
Sings not, love, as my heart sings
When I see you!
