Sweet letters of the angel tongue,
I've loved ye long and well,
And never have failed in your fragrance sweet
To find some secret spell,--
A charm that has bound me with witching power,
For mine is the old belief,
That midst your sweets and midst your bloom,
There's a soul in every leaf!

I know not which I love the most,
Nor which the comeliest shows,

The pink with cheek of red,
Or the faint, fair heliotrope, who hangs,
Like a bashful maid her head.
