Lore’s Universal Language.

I was a stranger to her speech, And knew no way her love to reach. Our languages were diff’rent quite And left mo in a sorry plight But when her eyes my own dared seek I looked the thought I could not speak. And though her tongue could not confess She smiled me back her answer, “Yes.” Words, so I found, are needless things. Tho heart has swifter, surer wings, And love its messengers will find To carry its thoughts from mind to mind. Tongues are confused in speech and name. Love's language ever is the same. We sealed our bond of perfect bliss In one deep universal kiss.
