O Little Heart

Oh what's this?
Are you my heart and are you thumping?
O my heart. O there you are.
I'd stopped hunting.
I thought you would be as big as a whale.

My nets were knit, my harpoons armed,
I had my ship sailed -
And there you are,
O my heart.
Mouse nest in my hair.
I'd stopped hunting.

O my heart,
What do you say?
Should we keep babumpbabump bumping?
"Yes I'm ready!"
