The day drags through, though storms keep out the sun;
And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live
on.

HEART.—Leap hearts to lips, and in our kisses meet.

Who made the heart, ’tis He alone
He knows each chord—its various tone,
Then at the balance let’s be mute,
What’s done we partly
may compute,
