letra de the broken heart - samuel adler

he is stark mad, who ever says
that he hath been in love an hour
yet not that love so soon decays
but that it can ten in less sp-ce devour;
who will believe me, if i swear
that i have had the plague a year?
who would not laugh at me, if i should say
i saw a flask of powder burn a day?

ah, what a trifle is a heart
if once into love’s hands it come!
all other griefs allow a part
to other griefs, and ask themselves but some;
they come to us, but us love draws
he swallows us, and never chaws:
by him, as by chain’d shot, whole ranks to die
he is the tyrant pike, our hearts the fry
if ’twere not so, what did become
of my heart, when i first saw thee?
i brought a heart into the room
but from the room, i carried none with me:
if it had gone to thee, i know
mine would have taught thine heart to show
more pity unto me: but love, alas
at one first blow did shiver it as glass
yet nothing can to nothing fall
nor any place be empty quite
therefore i think my breast hath all
those pieces still, though they be not unite;
and now as broken glasses show
a hundred lesser faces, so
my rags of heart can like, wish, and adore
but after one such love, can love no more
