Love's Gift

M. Daniels

Love, could I pluck from the sky

All the shining stars on high

I would make a crown for Thee

Which should sparkle wondrously

Could I reek the ocean's deep

Where the coral forests sleep

From the fairest sprays beneath

I could make for thee a wreath

But, alas! no gifts can I

Capture from the sea and sky

Bid my idle dreams depart

I can only give my heart
