Classic Poem

I loved in life's glad morning,
When summer airs were sweet:
I brought my heart to some one
And laid it at her feet
But ah! the glad dream vanished:
Then all the summer fled;
The green leaves shook and trembled,
My heart for years seemed dead
I gave my heart to some one
How changed the world would be
If only that lost some one
Had given her heart to me!

So dreamed I in life's morning,
So dreamed I in despair.
But time brought noble solace;
New sunlight filled the air
Time brought me my true sweetheart,
My some one, good and bright:
Time filled my day with sunshine
And filled with stars my night.
Now all my song is, “Sweetheart,
An altered world I see
Since you, my love and darling,
Have given your heart to me!”
