OH, FOOLISH HEART.
I knew a lady onee — she smiled ; I thought she smiled for me alone. Thou foolish heart ! Thou wert beguiled ; Her golden smile on many shone. Thou foolish heart! Then why repine ? Thy folly brings this pain of thine. Her voice, so musical and sweet, ■' Discoursed, I thought, to me alone ; ' I never guess'd she could repeat Those charming sounds when I was gone. Thou foolish heart ! Then why repine ? Thy folly brings this pain of thine. Her soft and rosy lips I press'd ; I thought aucn bliss was mine alone j That others, too, I never guessed, Would kiss, and think the bliss their own. Thou foolish heart ! Then why repine ? Thy folly brings this pain of thine. ' J.W.
