How Romantic

Oh – but how romantic is the heart
          Which sings a melody so sweet
And paints so fine a portrait
          That the eyes and ears forget
The mind – and let the soul regret
          To find that lust and pride beget
Such incoherent beating.
          Thinking.
          Pleading.

          Retreating.
Oh – but how romantic is the heart!
