_Heart, Heart, Heart of my heart!
Is it thus--is it thus we part? With never a look, and never a sign, Nor a word for my hungering heart_! She sought him among the dying, She found him among the dead; And the rose was still in his helmet. But his life had stained it red. _Heart, Heart, Heart of my heart! Now my heart within me is dead. And alack for the look! And alas for the sign! And the word that was left unsaid_! DON'T WORRY Just do your best, And leave the rest To Him who gave you Life,-- And Zeal for Labour,-- And the Joy of Strife,-- And Zest of Love,-- And all that lifts your soul above The lower things. |
