Sympathy
Dublin Core
Title
Sympathy
Description
The heart can in its deepest hours,
Find pleasure in the past,
And in its present of delight,A joyful radiance cast.
A bond of union sweet,
A tender chord of love and joy,To make that bond complete.
So drops the human tear;
A gentle word, a kindly act,Will banish many a fear.
And hearts that beat as one,
Are like the bright and radiant gems,That glitter in the sun.
We listen for each word,
And though unknown the voice that speaks,Yet loving thoughts are stirred.
A span of mystery -
Then let us cherish in our hearts,The bond of sympathy.
