O Lovely Heart

O lovely heart! O Love No more be sorrowful Blue are the skies above The Spring is beautiful And all the flowers Are blest with gentle showers.

Although the morning skies Are heavy now with rain And your incredulous eyes Are wondering at your pain, Let them but weep. And after give them sleep.

O sorrowful! O heart Whose joy is difficult Though we two are apart— Know you shall yet exult And all the years Be fresher for your tears.
