The music of my uncontented heart
Plays slowly, sadly, as I go my way --
So real that I can hear each sounding part
Demanding my attention all the day.
But hear! the music changes from this key.
The beat picks up and suits my lighter mood.
Perhaps it's you who makes the tune renewed.
When I have lovely thoughts of you and me,
The music is allegro and my heart
Begins a faster beat. So let it be;
Let love reverse the music of my heart!
So long as music sounds such sweet refrain,
Contented shall my loving heart remain.
