Seven Woods — Never give all the Heart
| Never give all the heart, for love |
| Will hardly seem worth thinking of |
| To passionate women if it seem |
| Certain, and they never dream |
| That it fades out from kiss to kiss; |
| For everything that’s lovely is |
| But a
brief, dreamy, kind delight. |
| O never give the heart outright, |
| For they, for all smooth lips can say, |
| Have
given their hearts up to the play. |
| And who could play it well enough |
| If deaf and dumb and blind with
love? |
| He that made this knows all the cost, |
| For he gave all his heart and lost. |
