Commonplace things are the worlds

out them. They are worth more than oc-

And thou may'st soon along life's high

Be swift, dear heart, in saying the kindly
word;
When ears are sealed, thy passionate
pleading will not be heard
Be swift, dear heart, in doing the gra-
cious deed,
Lest soon they whom thou holdest dear

Be swift, dear heart in giving the rare,
