How sweet her name does sound to me <br />What graceful music to my ear, <br />Like lark ascending to the sky <br />That sings for me a song so clear, <br />A phrase that echoes through the morn <br />That drifts across the hills and field, <br />And there unto my longing thoughts <br />With all the beauty it does yield. <br /> <br />How sweet her name does sound to me <br />A soothing stream that gently flows, <br />A soft refrain of silver calls <br />I'll follow her where're she goes, <br />Melodic charms I shan't forget <br />Imprinted so within my mind, <br />And every day that I shall live <br />A love so pure I'll surely find. <br /> <br />How sweet her name does sound to me <br />Like waves that roll upon the shore, <br />And all the time I think of her <br />My joy shall last for evermore, <br />No word I'll find that can compare <br />For sun to shine and clouds to part, <br />A gentle wind that whispers through <br />The trees into my loving heart.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-sweet-her-name-to-me-does-sound/
