Page 304 - Oh, ever thus, from childhood's hour, I've seen my fondest hopes decay ; I never loved a tree or flower But 'twas the first to fade away ; I never nursed a dear gazelle, To glad me with its soft black eye, But when it came to know me well, And love me, it was sure to die.

Page 261 - Hearts alone can make ye holy ; Be the dwelling e'er so small, Having love it boasteth all. Hearts and homes, sweet words of pleasure, Music breathing as ye fall ; Making each the other's treasure, Once divided, losing all. Hearts and homes, hearts and homes. Hearts and homes, sweet words revealing, All most good and fair to see, Fitting shrines for purest feeling, Temples meet to bend the knee.
