Who fills a corner in our life to-day,

Without whose love we dare not dream how dark

The rest would seem, if it were gone away;

The song that thrilled our souls with very joy;

The gentle word that unexpected came;

The gift we prized because the thought was kind;

The thousand, thousand things that have no name;

All these, in some far hidden corner lie,

Within the mystery of that secret drawer,

Whose magic springs though stranger hands may touch,
