my songs are all for her

For Her

my songs are all for her whose love I fain would win:
each to her heart a wanderer goes singing, let me in.

her eyes my beacons be, her lips my rosy guides,
and in her heart a melody for every word abides.

be brave, be brave, my song, nor falter in the quest:
love in her heart has waited long to greet the singing guest.

and be it yours to know the latch lift on the door;
once in her heart — go, lyric, go be hers, for evermore
