LOVE'S BROKEN SPELL.
Around my fond and faithful heart,
A holy spell was resting,
Of life's best joys the purest part,
With sunshine all investing.
A holy spell was resting,
Of life's best joys the purest part,
With sunshine all investing.
Within its influence all things smiled,
Each passing hour brought pleasure,I
And hope, care's darkest frown beguiled,
And joy spread forth her treasure.
Each passing hour brought pleasure,I
And hope, care's darkest frown beguiled,
And joy spread forth her treasure.
But the trusted heart was false at last,—
Words chill and cold were spoken;
The happy dream of love was past—
The holy. spell was broken.
Words chill and cold were spoken;
The happy dream of love was past—
The holy. spell was broken.
