Mabel.  
Poor wandering one!
Though thou hast surely strayed,
Take heart of grace,
Thy steps retrace,
Poor wandering one!
Poor wandering one!
If such poor love as mine
Can help thee find
True peace of mind –
Why, take it, it is thine!
Chorus.

Take heart; no danger lowers;
Take any heart-but ours!

 


Mabel.
Take heart, fair days will shine;
Take any heart – take mine!
Chorus.
Take heart; no danger lowers;
Take any heart-but ours!
Mabel.

Take heart, fair days will shine;
Take any heart – take mine!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Poor wandering one!
Though thou hast surely strayed,
Take heart of grace,
Thy steps retrace,
Poor wandering one!

Mabel. Chorus.
  Poor wandering one!
Ah, ah! Ah, ah,  
ah! Poor wandering one!
Ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah!  
Fair days will shine, Take heart,
Take heart, Take heart,
Take mine! Take any heart –
Take heart! but ours, Take heart! Take heart!
Take mine! Take
  heart!! no danger lowers;
  Take any heart but ours.
Ah! ah! Take heart, take heart,
Ah! Take any heart but ours.
Take heart. Take heart.

Exeunt MABEL and FREDERIC .
