This Foolish Heart.

This foolish heart, that seeks your charms,
Would pray to God with upturned arms,
If afterwards your touch i'd feel,
Not dreamt, but warm and soft and real.

This foolish heart, that seeks your smile,
Would freely suffer toils and trials,
If at the end i'd feel it's light,
Shine down on me through day and night.

This foolish heart, that seeks your voice,
Would give away all will and choice,
If, in whispered tones of love,
You'd speak my name 'neath stars above.

This foolish heart, that seeks it's mate,
A thousand years would gladly wait,
To hold you near and never part,
And be the one who holds your heart.
