A CORNER IN MY HEART
By ANNE CAMPBELL
You have a little corner in my heart,
A sunny space belonging just to you,
With windows open so the gentle art
Of brown wren singing may come drifting through.
There is a garden, and the fragrance drifts
Into the little corner where you are.
And in the evening palest moonlight sifts
In my glad heart, and there's an evening star.
Now you are gone, the sun no longer shines.
The garden flowers are dead, the moon no more
Looks down in splendor through the trumpet vines.
The star is absent from my heart's wrenched door.
A little corner of my heart is dull
And dusty that you made so beautiful!
