Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hearts; Love - Complaints


O HEART, my heart!
Why tost in tempest throe?
She whom thou lovest
Cares not for thy joy,
Cares not for thy woe,
Then let her go!

O beauteous Truth!
Why is thy heart so wrung?
She whom thou lovedst
Is false to thee and thine,
Is false to me and mine,
Then why repine?

O kindly stars!
Why shed thy tears for her?
Or is't but mine own blinding pain
That sees tears in thy glistening rain?
Oh, join with me to forget!
Leave not a way for regret!
And yet——— And yet———!
