The yellow daisy
Language: English
Chosen for Diff
What's his heart Sweetheart, Sweetheart! What's his heart? Very often I've been told Of his yellow shining gold But the gold's the smallest part Of love, Sweetheart, Sweetheart! Of a happy love, Sweetheart! Is it true, my dear, is it true That his heart's a rusty brown? Nay my sweetheart do not frown, Better know it's brown and sere, Now than when too late, My dear, my dear When too late, My dear!
