A WOMAN'S REQUEST.
SING me a sweet, glad song of the heart, Like a bird's, escaped from prison; A song of delight that had birth above Ere,sun o'er a sea had risen. A trill from the rill of love divine, As it flows to the mystic sea— A chord, that shall thrill my sonl, from thine, With a joyous ecstacy.
Tell me the tale, as of olden told, In the deathless words that shine, In the old, sweet words, ere a star had rolled, That were poured from lips divine. Voice rae the glow of a heart's true love. Ere love ever linked with shame; A love that is pure as heaven above, And I'll carve on my heart thy name. Daniel Florence Lea by. .
