Quotes About Sorrow

O Sweetheart, hear thou Your lover's tale A man shall have sorrow When friends him fail. For he shall know then Friends be untrue And a little ashes Their words come to But one onto him Will softly move And softly woo him In ways of love. His hand is under Her smooth round breast So he who has sorrow Shall have rest.
