"A Heart of Stone," by Beckie M.

"A Heart of Stone"

Once I had a heart of stone
For it had surely lost its home
It could not love or wanted too
But in my life, then came you.

The stones began to fall away
As happiness began to fill my day
A feeling so sweet and special too
Could this be love, I pray is true.

My heart now sings a song of love
For I know that it was sent from above
My heart is warm, there is no cold
Hard no more, but with wings of gold.

It soars above the sky so high
Sometimes I think of why and cry
My heart now sings a loving song
For the part of me I thought was gone.

The gift that you have given me
Is so important, can't you see
No more sadness or being alone
For now my heart returns to home.

"A Slumber did My Spirit Seal," by William Wordsworth

"A Slumber did my Spirit Seal"

A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.

No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.

"She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways," by William Wordsworth

 "She Dwelt Among the Untrodden ways"

She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove,
A Maid whon there were none to praise
And very few to love:

A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye!
 --Fair as a star, when only one
Is shiningin in the sky.

She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me!
