If hearts knew sense then would the heart flow love For prior to that streaming lease of joy A sense will warn, as duty bounds behove; Foretelling pain; that'll meet the heart's deploy. And renders love reversal for a while The broken down duration known by none, Is here that sense would leave the heart to rile; To chance the pain or curb where love had won. Ah! Idle hearts are spawning grounds for hate One taste of bile deters to love; from most Then spite of sense would love rejoice to mate And any lesser cause; a morbid host. If heart's took sense, then still would lover's glow For better than; what loveless hearts do know.

If Hearts Had Sense (sonnet)
If hearts knew sense then would the heart flow love For prior to that streaming lease of joy A sense will warn, as duty bounds behove; Foretelling pain; that'll meet the heart's deploy. And renders love reversal for a while The broken down duration known by none, Is here that sense would leave the heart to rile; To chance the pain or curb where love had won. Ah! Idle hearts are spawning grounds for hate One taste of bile deters to love; from most Then spite of sense would love rejoice to mate And any lesser cause; a morbid host. If heart's took sense, then still would lover's glow For better than; what loveless hearts do know.
