Part 1 — A LOVING HEART.
Reading edition
BY W. S. GAFFNEY.
SWEETER than the sweetest flower, Brighter than the brightest gem, Richer far than Flora's bower, Art or nature's diadem— Fairer, sweeter, Purer, meeter, Is a kind and loving heart! Wealth may prove a toy caressing; Beauty's charms a world of light; But Affection is a blessing From a soul serene and bright; Kindest, purest, Best and surest, Is a faithful, loving heart!
