I HAVE a song within my heart that I shall never sing. <br />I know 'tis there for I can feel its joyous fluttering. <br />Just how it goes, I do not know; and what it is about, <br />Though I have tried and tried again, I cannot quite make out <br /> <br />But this I know : when days are dark, and sullen is the air, <br />It does not vex my soul at all, because that song is there !<br /><br />John Kendrick Bangs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-note-within/
