    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!

Yet here's eglantine,
Here's ivy!--take them as I used to do
Thy flowers, and keep them where they shall not pine.
Instruct thine eyes to keep their colours true,
And tell thy soul their roots are left in mine.
