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
