I have not found true love can last,
amidst the troubles we've amassed,
beyond the life which we are cast,

yet in this world we find so busy,
and all the aches that make us dizzy,
like Thomas Mann's poor Little Lizzy,

we will not put our love to rest,
for not by being loved, but, loving,
we are always at our best.
