Poor heart
What to do?
Dim the light
There's no respite
For you
Poor heart
Can you see?
Or will you beat
A sad retreat for me
Poor heart?
Poor mouth
Poor eyes
Poor soul
Poor mind
Poor start
Poor heart
Poor heart
Look around
Who else remains
Who can contain
Your frown?
Poor heart
Why so vain?
Are you rich enough
To play so rough
Again
Poor heart?
Poor heart
Poor eyes
Poor soul
Poor mind
Poor start
Poor heart
Poor heart
Play your part
Nothing's done
Til it is sung
Poor heart
