Henry Wadsworth Longfellow — The Sea hath its Pearls

The sea hath its pearls,        &nbsp The heaven hath its stars; But my heart, my heart,        &nbsp My heart hath its love. Great are the sea and the heaven;        &nbsp Yet greater is my heart, And fairer than pearls and stars        &nbsp Flashes and beams my love. Thou little, youthful maiden,        &nbsp Come unto my great heart; My heart, and the sea, and the heaven        &nbsp Are melting away with love!
