Dear Letters, Fond Letters,
       Must I with you part?
You are such a source of joy
   To my lonely heart.

Sweet Letters, Dear Letters,
       What a tell you tell;
O, no power on earth can break
   This strange mystic spell!

Dear Letters, Fond Letters,
       You my secret know—
Don’t you tell it, any one—
Let it live and grow.
