Love's Gift
Language: English
Love, could I pluck from the sky All the shining stars on high I would make a crown for Thee Which should sparkle wondrously Could I reek the ocean's deep Where the coral forests sleep From the fairest sprays beneath I could make for thee a wreath But, alas! no gifts can I Capture from the sea and sky Bid my idle dreams depart I can only give my heart
