Duncan Campbell Scott - The Sailor`s SweetheartDuncan Campbell Scott - The Sailor`s Sweetheart
Work rating: Low


O if love were had for asking,   In the markets of the town, Hardly a lass would think to wear   A fine silken gown: But love is had by grieving By choosing and by leaving, And there`s no one now to ask me If heavy lies my heart. O if love were had for a deep wish   In the deadness of the night, There`d be a truce to longing   Between the dusk and the light: But love is had for sighing, For living and for dying, And there`s no one now to ask me If heavy lies my heart. O if love were had for taking   Like honey from the hive, The bees that made the tender stuff   Could hardly keep alive: But love it is a wounded thing, A tremor and a smart, And there`s no one left to kiss me now Over my heavy heart.
