First Line: Oh, how hard it is to find
Last Line: "that's sweet -- even when we sigh ""wo's me!"
Subject(s): Love – Nature Of; Fall


OH, how hard it is to find
The one just suited to our mind;
And if that one should be
False, unkind, or found too late,
What can we do but sigh at fate,
And sing Wo's me -- Wo's me!

Love's a boundless burning waste,
Where Bliss's stream we seldom taste,
And still more seldom flee
Suspense's thorns, Suspicion's stings;
Yet somehow Love a something brings
That's sweet -- even when we sigh "Wo's me!"
