How did she know his heart was hers?
He spoke no word
OF love TO her; how Gid she know
That when she passed or touched hm-so-
His pulse was stirred?
How did she read his secret thoughts.
And never err?
How did she know her glances thrilled
His soul? That all his heart was filled
With love for her?
How did she know their life would be
One grand sweet song?
To tel! the truth, she didn't know
These things. She thought that they
were so.
But she was wrong.
