The Picture i'm MY Heart.


In each mans soul there lives a dream
Lit by womanS eyes,
Whose glance is like the tender CLEAN
That thrills the evening skies.
1t is dream that never fantS
Though veal woe befalls
But haunts the heart, and softly paints
A picture on its walls.
It is my dream at midnight,
And in the crowded mart,
That darling face
With gentle grace
The picture in my heart!
In each mans heart there floats voice
That speaks to him alone,
The voice of her, his spirits choice.
He longs to call his own.
The days may hasten like the wind,
Or lag with sullen feet,
Some day his wondering heart shall lind
The face he longs to meet
It is my dream at midnight.
Its dear eyes ne'er depart.
Oh, where is she,
My bride to be-
The picture in my heart!
Oh some hearts range the wide world
And through to find their mate.
And some amid the darkness rue
That they have met too late;
wistful glance betrayS to each
What neither dareS to sigh;
A welded bond forbids the speech

Oh, Fate be kind
And let me find
