Analysis of Hearts Set The Beat



Hunts get the find.
Skills win the feat.
Views fill the mind. Hearts set the beat.

Tears blear the eye.
Trials try the mete.
Clouds dot the sky. Hearts set the beat.

Gusts grip the pose.
Waves slap the feet.
Rays burn the nose. Hearts set the beat.

Stars cap the night.
Yachts tie the fleet.
Cords turn the kite. Hearts set the beat.

Fears halt the bliss.
Guts take the heat.
Yearns lip the kiss. Hearts set the beat.

Joys make the day.
Funs give the treat.
Likes seek the way. Hearts set the beat.
