[01:07.23][00:30.18] Never give all the heart
[01:10.03][00:40.85] for love
[01:10.82][00:43.44] Will hardly seem worth thinking of
[01:12.23][00:52.04] To passionate women
[01:13.08][00:56.55] If it seem certain,
[01:15.78] And they never dream
[01:16.98] That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
[01:20.99] For everything that's lovely is
[01:22.58] But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
[01:27.09] Oh never give the heart outright,
[01:30.29] For they, for all smooth lips can say,
[01:33.47] Have given their hearts up to the play.
[01:36.21] And who could play it well enough
[01:38.13] If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
[01:43.83] He that made this knows all the cost,
[01:47.47] For he gave all his heart and lost.
[02:02.85] They for everything some day
[02:14.72] Have giving their hearts soft to the play
[02:25.40] Never give all the heart
