My heart IS worn and weary.

And filled with sunny weather.
When In the paths OF JOY we two
Walk, hand IN hand. together,
I hear the happy thrushes tune
Their song In bush and bower;
hear the bees their story Groom
From honied flower TO flower
The music stirs nae with distress
cannot kindly bear n;
For. o there IS no JOY unless
Your ear with mine may share Il.
come with me and glad the way
With eyes OF beauty smiling.
December seems as glad as May
In your divine begullinE.
For, though we stray through gardens fair
or weary wastes OF heather
The paths are good and golden where
We two may walk together.
