I am only an innocent maiden <br />and my teardrops multiply... <br />I know that when tomorrow comes <br />across the world you must fly. <br /> <br />You say you love me dearly, <br />I accept it ~ with a frown, <br />because your eyes forever wander <br />to the 'prettiest satin gown'. <br /> <br />I've no gold upon my fingers <br />I doubt that you even care! <br />and the thought is always lingering <br />your eyes are straying elsewhere. <br /> <br />With promises forsaken, <br />and springtime blossom gone, <br />my young heart is aching, breaking <br />but still I string along. <br /> <br />I am only an innocent maiden <br />and my teardrops multiply... <br />I know that when tomorrow comes <br />across the world you will fly.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-heart-of-a-poor-young-maiden/
