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?"
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."
Fond words that bid the pulses beat,—
A soul where loving fancies meet."
