SONG III

['Tis an old, old tale, I trow]

'Tis an old, old tale, I trow:
Be not fooled with outward show;
Deep within love's treasures lie:
Trust the heart, and not the eye.
Though your faith in man be gone,
Or in woman, still love on;
Still believe against belief:
Love is lasting, falsehood brief.
