The Answering Voice: One Hundred Love Lyrics by Women. 1917. | | | | Rhapsody | | By Florence Earle Coates |
| | | AS the mother bird to the waiting nest, | |
| As the regnant moon to the sea, | |
| As joy to the heart that hath first been blest— | |
| So is my love to me. | |
| |
| Sweet as the song of the lark that soars | 5 |
| From the net of the fowler free, | |
| Sweet as the morning that song adores— | |
| So is my love to me! | |
| |
| As the rose that blossoms in matchless grace | |
| Where the canker may not be, | 10 |
| As the well that springs in a desert place— | |
| So is my love to me. | | | | |
|
