NEVER give all the heart, for love br Will hardly seem worth thinking of br To passionate women if it seem br Certain, and they never dream br That it fades out from kiss to kiss; br For everything that's lovely is br But a brief, dreamy. Kind delight. br O never give the heart outright, br For they, for all smooth lips can say, br Have given their hearts up to the play. br And who could play it well enough br If deaf and dumb and blind with love? br He that made this knows all the cost, br For he gave all his heart and lost.
