The Brooksldc.
1 wandered by the brookside,
1 wandered by tho mill;
I could not hear the brook ilow--
The noisy wheel was still.
There was no burr OF grasshopper,
No chlrp of any bird,
But the beating Of my own heart
was III tho sound lientd.
i sat beneath the clin-trce;
/ watched the long, long shade,
Ana, as IL grew still longer,
4 l. did not feel afraid;
FOR listened for d football,
listened for word
Eu, the beating Of my own heart
Was nll the sound l heard.
10 cnmo not--,o no came not
Tho night came on alone
Tie little stars sat one by one,
Each OH his golden throne;
Tle evening wind passed by my check,
Tho leaves above wcre stirred
B,t the boating of MY own heart
Was all the sound I heard.
Fast, silent tears wero flowing
81 When something stood behind.
A hand was on my shoulder
knew It's touch was i.ind:
1t drew me nearer-ncnrer--
We did not speak one word.
For the beating OF our own hearts
Was all the SOUND We heard.
