Here Lies the Heart
Mark where lies the heart that loved you,
In a gravestone covered tomb of pain,
Where night's eternal slumber will undo
The past affections washed by rain.
Silenced now from beats of passion,
Deserted loneliness made still,
Alone in hidden devastation,
The heart that loved, against its will.
Where now the vows that it had held?
Hopes that nurtured it in life?
Promises were dreams beheld,
That killed its beat as with a knife.
Gone are the tears that now decayed,
In mournful sighing deathly laid,
Gone purpose, reason, intents prayed-
The heart that loved you, dearly paid.
