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 thats 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. |
