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