From your sad poem flows a mournful cry -- A lament of Love's deceit and pain; If only words alone could mollify The heart-wrenching notes of your refrain! But there's just one cure for such distress: Only Love itself can you entreat To end the painful hours of loneliness, And quell the bitter anguish of deceit What a strange and baffling mystery -- Love, the very cause of your despair, Now seems to be the only remedy That can purge the torment that you bear For Love breaks a pledge when it departs That only a new Love can fulfill; How joyous the song of two lonely hearts When they meet -- though Love's own voice be still Then take heed and proceed cautiously-- Love has always been a game of chance; Though at first you can't hear Love's rhapsody . . . Trust your heart when it begins to dance

To Any Heart In Torment
From your sad poem flows a mournful cry -- A lament of Love's deceit and pain; If only words alone could mollify The heart-wrenching notes of your refrain! But there's just one cure for such distress: Only Love itself can you entreat To end the painful hours of loneliness, And quell the bitter anguish of deceit What a strange and baffling mystery -- Love, the very cause of your despair, Now seems to be the only remedy That can purge the torment that you bear For Love breaks a pledge when it departs That only a new Love can fulfill; How joyous the song of two lonely hearts When they meet -- though Love's own voice be still Then take heed and proceed cautiously-- Love has always been a game of chance; Though at first you can't hear Love's rhapsody . . . Trust your heart when it begins to dance
Any heart in torment will understand
