O, grieving heart, cheer up and sing Though love only stayed but a short while; Soon you'll be drinking again from love's spring, Forgotten will be love's cunning guile
O, abandoned heart, dry your tears, Crying will not bring back a lost love; But reflect on the bliss of bygone years -- Memories are gifts from Heav'n above
O, broken heart, it's time to mend, In due time you'll come to realize New love may be waiting around the bend -- Be alert for blessings in disguise!
O, wounded heart, don't try to fly, Dare not venture forth on broken wings; Though love's warm glow fails to illume your sky, Somewhere in the dark a bird still sings
O, mortal heart, your pain will end, And from Life's shackles you'll be set free; So let dead love to Heaven's throne ascend . . . For love has its own eternity
