Embers, Volume 2. by Gilbert Parker
page 17 of 47 (36%)
There is an orchard beyond the sea,
With a nest where the linnets hide;
Oh, warm is the nest that is built for me-
In my true love's heart I bide!






HEART OF THE WORLD

Heart of the World give heed,
Tongues of the World be still!
The richest grapes of the vine shall bleed
Till the greeting-cup shall spill;
The kine shall pause in the pleasant mead,
The eagle upon the hill--
Heart of the World give heed!

Heart of the World break forth,
Tongues of the World proclaim!
There cometh a voice from out the North
And a face of living flame--
A man's soul crying, Behold what worth
Was life till her sweet soul came--
Heart of the World break forth!

Heart of the World be strong,
Tongues of the World be wise!
