Oliver Herford (Оливер Херфорд)


A Song of a Heart


Upon a time I had a Heart,
And it was bright and gay;
And I gave it to a Lady fair
To have and keep alway.

She soothed it and she smoothed it
And she stabbed it till it bled;
She brightened it and lightened it
And she weighed it down with lead.

She flattered it and battered it
And she filled it full of gall;
Yet had I Twenty Hundred Hearts,
Still should she have them all.



Oliver Herford's other poems:
  1. The Whole Duty of Kittens
  2. In Darkest Africa
  3. Proem
  4. The Shadow Kitten
  5. A Kitten’s Fancy
