Never give all the heart,
For love will hardly see,
For thinking of,
Two passionate wills,
If it seems certain,

Never give all the heart,
For love will hardly seem worth thinking of,
To passionate willing if it seems certain,
And they never dreamed it fades out from kiss to kiss,
For everything that's lovely is but a brief, dreaming, kind delight,
Never give the heart, out of right,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their heart up to the play,
And who could play it well enough when deaf and dumb and blind,
With love,
Be that may, they can't afford the cost,
He who gave his heart, and lost

They are lords who glimpse of sadness,
Have given their hearts up to the flame,
Never give all the heart
