A crystal heart
Language: English 
I send thee but a crystal heart, 
A trinket, love, of little worth, 
A modest treasure of the earth, 
I send thee but a crystal heart. 
Beloved, wear my amulet! 
Oh, may it keep thee purer yet. 
So shall the gift a symbol be 
Of naught save reverence for thee, 
God speed! Act ever well thy part, 
Sweet lady of the crystal heart.
