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.
