Classic Poem

There's wild joy within my heart,
Hope's sunlight warms my brain,
And my thirsty soul drinks Gladness in,
As the earth drinks summer rain;
Flushed Health is leaping through my veins,
My blood is all aglow,
Each pulse has a loud and a stately beat,
And my thoughts are like the snow.

For Woman's Voice of Love hath burst
Like a meteor on my way,
And I live in smiles, like the Sun's bright Isles,
That bask in Eternal Day.
Life never came to me till now,
But pass'd like a restless dream,
Where Love for evermore wandered by,
Like a rose upon a stream.
