Four Songs , opus 29

by Amy Marcy Cheney Beach (1867 - 1944)

1. Within thy Heart
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
My love to thee I give,
For thou my love hast won,
Deep in my heart to live,
Thy glance a sunbeam shone.

My life to thee I give,
For thou art life to me,
Within thy heart to live
Forever, heaven would be!

2. The wandering knight  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
My ornaments are arms,
My pastime is in war,
My bed is cold upon the wold,
My lamp yon star.

My journeyings are long,
My slumbers short and broken;
From hill to hill I wander still,
Kissing thy token.

I ride from land to land,
I sail from sea to sea;
Some day more kind I fate may find,
Some night, kiss thee.
