• Have you got a brook in your little heart,

    Where bashful flowers blow,

    And blushing birds go down to drink,

    And shadows tremble so ?


    And nobody knows, so still it flows,

    That any brook is there ;

    And yet your little...

  • I'm the little "Heart's Ease"!

    I don't care for pouting skies!

    If the Butterfly delay

    Can I, therefore, stay away?


    If the Coward Bumble Bee

    In his chimney corner stay,

    I, must resoluter be!

    Who'll apologize for me?


    Dear, Old fashioned, little flower!

    Eden...

  • My Heart upon a little Plate

    Her Palate to delight

    A Berry or a Bun, would be,

    Might it an Apricot!

  • Poor little Heart!

    Did they forget thee?

    Then dinna care! Then dinna care!


    Proud little Heart!

    Did they forsake thee?

    Be debonnaire! Be debonnaire!


    Frail little Heart!

    I would not break thee —

    Could'st credit me? Could'st credit me?


    Gay little Heart...

  • This dirty — little — Heart

    Is freely mine.

    I won it with a Bun —

    A Freckled shrine —


    But eligibly fair

    To him who sees

    The Visage of the Soul

    And not the knees.
