¶Lyrics / Text

No jewell’d Beauty is my Love, Yet in her earnest face There’s such a world of tenderness, She needs no other grace. Her smiles, and voice, around my life In light and music twine, And dear, O very dear to me, Is this sweet Love of mine. O joy! to know there’s one fond heart Beats ever true to me: It sets mine leaping like a lyre, In sweetest melody: My soul up-springs, a Deity! To hear her voice divine; And dear, O very dear to me, Is this sweet Love of mine. If ever I have sigh’d for wealth, ’Twas all for her, I trow; And if I win Fame’s victor-wreath, I’ll twine it on her brow. There may be forms more beautiful, And souls of sunnier shine, But none, O none, so dear to me, As this sweet Love of mine.
