Into my life, when the youth-spell keptIts mystery dreams of the untried yearsThe passionate love of a woman sweptAnd held me fast, as (me who hearsA sirens call, yet no one knewThe joy she brought to my soul, save MEMORIES There are wild sweet songs for the soul to sing-In the hnman heart, as yet nnsnng,As the timid bird who trains her youngTo higher flights on the untried wing; But the songs someday will bud and bloom Like an April meadow thing.
