by Frederick (Fred) G. Bowles ( flourished 1899-1918 )
To the heart
Language: English
To the heart! to the heart all song should go, Light be the music, light and low, Never a word to tell of care, Song is a sign that the world is fair. To the heart! to the heart let music flow, Melting the soul of friend or foe, Touching the world with joy divine, Making the wealth of its beauty thing, To the heart! to the heart let music tell All shall be right and all shall be well, All shall be brave, and all shall be true, This was the world God made for you.
