Dear Heart Deceived By Mind And Eyes

Dear Heart deceived by Mind and Eyes:
         Seek not a dream which soon will not suffice
         Love not ephemeral Beauty’s lies;

Dear Heart be by Mind and Eyes not swayed:
         Remember not the past games played
         Turn not away when Youth and Beauty fade.

Dear Heart to this advice take heed:
         Bear Love’s crosses, let scars bleed
         Then let Love to Love’s grandeur lead.
