What Little Things!

Topics: classic

From "One Day and Another"     What little things are those     That hold our happiness!     A smile, a glance, a rose     Dropped from her hair or dress;     A word, a look, a touch, -     These are so much, so much.     An air we can't forget;     A sunset's gold that gleams;     A spray of mignonette,     Will fill the soul with dreams     More than all history says,     Or romance of old days.     For of the human heart,     Not brain, is memory;     These things it makes a part     Of its own entity;     The joys, the pains whereof     Are the very food of love.
