The Heart of the Woman

字號:


     O what to me the little room
     That was brimmed up with prayer and rest;
     He bade me out into the gloom,
     And my breast lies upon his breast.
     O what to me my mother‘s care,
     The house where I was safe and warm;
     The shadowy blossom of my hair
     Will hide us from the bitter storm.
     O hiding hair and dewy eyes,
     I am no more with life and death,
     My heart upon his warm heart lies,
     My breath is mixed into his breath.
