Within thy heart

Within thy heart oh! let it appear

As in a jewel casket clear,

Let longing glimmer as pearls do gleam,

That oft-times like unto teardrops seem.

Let faith shine forth with its bluish light,

And hope blaze out like an em'rald bright,

And in its depths like a ruby red,

Love's flame shall sparkle and glow instead,

Then rapture's golden ray shall swell,

My bosom with its joyous spell.

Within thy heart oh! let it appear

As in a jewel casket clear.
