lyrics

(His ardour begins to cool.)

“I used to love to see you
Yes I tore when you went away
It’s gotten easier to free you
We don’t have as much to say

The eye that couldn’t eat enough
Of each your curves roves distracted
So it is the snake will slough
The love he has contracted.

But still sometimes, a moment brings
The flame that used to seem so steady
And what we can be still sings
In spite of hearts not always ready

To know cooling can be rekindled
Offers hope for hurts
But such solace comes not unmingled
And reassures as it disconcerts:

For isn’t love the coal
That doesn’t give up its burning soul?

And isn’t love the glede that doesn’t fade?
If its gleam is fitful, it is flawed,
Unable to endure the vows it played,
And easily by hours overawed.

So I’m forced to admit
You’re not now the flower I picked
Or I saw what my own thought refined
And since have changed my mind."
