Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Элла Уилкокс) Lines from “Maurine” (It was a way of Helen's not to sing) It was a way of Helen's not to sing The songs that other people sang; she took Sometimes an extract from an olden book-- Again some floating, fragmentary thing, And these she fitted to old melodies, Or else composed the music. One of these She sang that night; and Vivian caught the strain. And joined her in the chorus or refrain: O thou, mine other stronger part, Whom yet I cannot hear or see, Come thou and take this loving heart, That longs to yield its all to thee. I call mine own, O come to me-- Love, answer back, "I come to thee, I come to thee!" This hungry heart, so warm, so large Is far too great a care for me. I have grown weary of the charge I keep so sacredly for thee. Come, then, and take my heart from me-- Love, answer back, "I come to thee, I come to thee." I am a'weary, waiting here For one who tarries long from me. O, art thou far, or art thou near, And must I still be sad for thee? Love, answer, "I am near to thee, I am come to thee!"
