Song (Osgood)

From Immortal Poetry

Jump to: navigation, search

YOUR heart is a music-box, dearest!
With exquisite tunes at command,
Of melody sweetest and clearest,
If tried by a delicate hand;
But its workmanship, love, is so fine,
At a single rude touch it would break;
Then, oh! be the magic key mine,
Its fairy-like whispers to wake.
And there 's one little tune it can play,
That I fancy all others above,
You learned it of Cupid one day,
It begins with and ends with 'I love!' 'I love!'
My heart echoes to it 'I love!'

by Frances Sargeant Osgood.
