Sweet Sorrow
'Twas in the middle month of fall
'Twas near All Hallow's Eve
'Twas in the tiny dancing hall
That first I learned to grieve
The dancers twirled, I met his eyes
And in a flash was caught
I knew he fed on maidens' sighs
But never had I thought
Then lights did flash as bright as day
He felled me with a kiss!
So serpent-like he wove his way
And left me breathless!
The dance went on tho' scarce I danced
Until the dance was done
Tho' I enjoyed this brief romance
The next dance had begun
Young love will come and it will go
Burned deep within the heart!
And like the dances to and fro
Step lightly near and then apart!
'Twas in the middle month of fall
'Twas near All Hallow's Eve
'Twas in the tiny dancing hall
That first I learned to grieve
