In Dreams, She Saw Love's True Faith As Her Goal
In Dreams, She Saw Love's True Faith As Her Goal
With her heart sad she wept, her tears fell deep
his love was bad, his vows he did not keep,
each new morn, she found her bed held no prize
he had crept off, left her with his dark lies.
She found her wealth, his heart it did so stir
more so than her charms, he was a true cur,
with words he said, my true love, I love you
as she heard, her heart knew it was not true.
Yet love had ate its sweet bread and its fill
she would fall for his charms and his old spill,
her pals would say, tis true, he is no good
kick him to the curb, you know that you should.
In dreams, she saw love's true faith as her goal.
Yet his dark lies, in the end, took their toll.
