The Heart Unseen

Topics: classic

So many times the heart can break, So many ways, Yet beat along and beat along So many days. A fluttering thing we never see, And only hear When some stern doctor to our side Presses his ear. Strange hidden thing, that beats and beats We know not why, And makes us live, though we indeed Would rather die. Mysterious, fighting, loving thing, So sad, so true - I would my laughing eyes some day Might look on you.
