MABEL'S SONG: POOR WANDERING ONE
* This is not the same word as the one which means "puts down". It means "threatens" and rhymes with "ours".MABEL: Poor wandering one!
Though thou has 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!
Take heart, fair days will shine;
Take any heart — take mine!ALL: Take heart; no danger lowers;*
Take any heart — but ours!
