Take Back the Heart"

Here is beautiful old song that was
once a general favorite:
''Take back the heart thou gavest;
What is my anguish to thee?
Take back the freedom thou cravest,
Leaving the letters to me.
Take back the vows thou hast spoken,
Fling them aside and be free,
Smile Ger each pitiful token,
Leaving the sorrow for me.
Drink deep Of life's fond illusion,
Gaze on the storm-cloud and fee,
Swiftly thro' strife and confusion,
Leaving the burden to me.
''Then when at last overtaken,
Time filings its letters Ger thee,
Come with trust still mistaken.
Come back captive to me.
Come back in sadness or sorrow,
Once more my darling to be.
Come as of old, love, to borrow
Glimpses of sunlight from me,
Love shall resume her dominion,
Striving no more to be free,
When on her world-weary pinion
Flies back my lost love to me.
