Poems (Clark)/A Fragment

by Annie Maria Lawrence Clark

A FRAGMENT

After the German of Marie Ebner.

Question:—"A little song—what tender spell
     Wins human hearts to love it well,
     What lives within, I pray you tell?"

Answer:—"There lies therein a cadence sweet,—
     Fond words that bid the pulses beat,—
     A soul where loving fancies meet."
