13. 1912 From Heart to Heart

From Heart to Heart

A ruby in a drop of wine, a sapphire in a sea of blue
A pearl for a shell of pearl unseen, the heart of you
A rose in scarlet bowers of bloom untempered of the sun and dew
Too deep for the trumpet of the bee, the lips of you
A diamond in the crystal spring, a star astray in clouded skies
The light of an older world waits in your eyes

A statue in an inch of snow, a spark behind a hearth of flame
The dull indifference of the lips that speak your name
The cries of children in the house loud with cheers
Your voice lost in the mad replies of the throng that hear
But fire in wine and rose on marble
A sunbeam in a dull grey sea
The cry of a child in a motherless world
Your call to me
On the bottom it has the name Mahi/ Mali/ Mati/ Malu???? I have no idea!!!!!!
