It's the heart of every man

And it echoes through the land

This is the song of every man.

“Heart of my heart, the world is young;
Love lies hidden in every rose!”

Alfred Noyes (1880–1958) English poet

Unity, § I
The Golden Hynde and Other Poems (1914)
Context: Heart of my heart, the world is young;
Love lies hidden in every rose!
Every song that the skylark sung
Once, we thought, must come to a close:
Now we know the spirit of song,
Song that is merged in the chant of the whole,
Hand in hand as we wander along,
What should we doubt of the years that roll?
