ADIEU, by LEON DIERX First Line: You for whom love is a plaything, you Last Line: Light heart, empty heart, adieu! Go! Subject(s): Farewell; Parting | ||||||||
You for whom love is a plaything, you Without its melancholy or regret, Go ply your woman's trade: Adieu! You who can forget, forget! I do not feel the searching claw Of hatred, bitterness, or fret. In your eyes I never saw Faith, so naught bleeds in my soul. Woman, obey the olden law. Regild, repaint, your standard-pole, Watch how your desires flow, Seek some fool and his after-dole. Light heart, empty heart, adieu!
