I'LL NOT BELIEVE IT.
I
I'll not believe love's wreath will painThe hands that weave it;
That when no summer flow'rs remain,
Love's wreath becomes a galling chain:
I'll not believe it!
II
I'll not believe man wins a heart,To pain and grieve it;
That when sad tears unbidden start,
The once fond lover will depart:
I'll not believe it!
III
I'll not believe a hope he'll raise,But to deceive it;
That in the wane of wedded days,
He'll slight the smile love used to praise:
I'll not believe it!
