"Once when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad—
Broke my brittle hart in two;
And this is very bad.
Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse."
Someone left me sad—
Broke my brittle hart in two;
And this is very bad.
Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse."
