Recollections
Once, long ago,
Someone left me sad;
Broke my young heart in two,
And that was very bad.
Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse -
Once, not too long ago,
There was a heart I broke,
And that, I think, is worse.
Now forget him, he's departed--
Leave the past beyond the shore,
Only fools are broken-hearted
For a love that is no more.
Memories that give but sorrow,
Recollections that give pain -
But the wine you bring today
Joys my saddened heart again.
