My heart I bared this day
I offered to stay
He stood and laughed
What for? he asked
When any other would do!
Would they be true to you?
If not, another I will take!
Would love you not chose?
Love fades away, said he
Have you dared your heart?
Nay, it is to precious a thing
Then love you’ve not known?
Nay, for love is but transient
My heart I bare to you this day
And offer yet again to stay
He looked on in wonderment
That one would a heart so dare
That one would risk so much
For one that offered so little
