A love poem I have always liked (of which Heart Speaks to Heart reminds me) is by Robert Browning (1812-1889) entitled Meeting at Night. Although only 12 lines, there’s no room for it here but it’s well worth raising on Google. The last two lines read: “….And a voice less loud, thro’ its joys and fears, Than the two hearts beating each to each.”
Fr Tim Dean
