Listen to poem:
be still, my foolish heart
let not the moon possess your soul
let not the summer breeze enchant you
like the sirens who scheme to rob your senses
haste not to part with what is yours
be still, my foolish heart
stay strong and do not buckle
stay strong, stand firm and do not crumble
in the face of the most alluring temptation
think twice before you give away what’s yours
be still, my foolish heart
let not the stars misguide your mind
let not the serenades seduce you
like the enchantress who intends to rob you blind
hold on tight to what is yours
be still, my foolish heart
you know you lost the fight
you know your soul was forfeited the moment
you burned to kiss those lips seen in your dreams
now you long to give away what was once yours
