Portraits are to daily faces > > >

Poor little heart!

---

Poor little heart!

   Did they forget thee?

Then dinna care! Then dinna care!

---

   Proud little heart!

   Did they forsake thee?

Be debonair! Be debonair!

---

   Frail little heart!

   I would not break thee:

Could’st credit me? Could’st credit me?

---

   Gay little heart!

   Like morning glory

Thou’ll wilted be; thou’ll wilted be!

Portraits are to daily faces > > >
