The hero's heart may sometimes wander, lost Amid desire's imaginative grounds To leave him as a wren on winds sharp tossed Though blame lies with his own brain's senseless rounds
For while he might pretend he stands a chance As eyes shine bright and lips part in a smile Much hope is lost, ill-founded on one glance And doubt becomes the product of denial
Weak faith but in the affection of a girl Brings pain, for fickle her affections run And leave the hero lost in his own world Without the light he mistook for the sun
So guard, lest your affections take control Before you fall to form, Love's true shape know. |
