Never remember what love's been, <br />That is the sorrow the world knows; <br />Forget it, or the heart too keen <br />Will ache and ache to the weary close. <br />Harden the heart even to love, <br />Or the change in the tender eyes <br />Will more than hate or passion move <br />The tears to fall, the wrath to rise. <br />Once the change comes, dare to forget <br />The sweetest truth you've dreamed of her, <br />Or the heart will so fret and fret <br />That it will have no comforter. <br />Turn not on love in the heart's despair, <br />For e'en her smiles were bitter then, <br />When all her faith is light as air, <br />And all her ways are hers again.<br /><br />Robert Crawford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-5-6/
