Poem by William Butler Yeats

lyrics

Never give all the Heart
By William Butler Yeats


Am G
Never give all the heart, for love
F Em
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
G C
To passionate women if it seem
Em F
Certain, and they never dream

That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that’s lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,

Em Am Em Am
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
C#m F#m C#m F#m
Have given their hearts up to the play.
D A Bm
And who could play it well enough
A G B7
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?

Em D Am Em
He that made this knows all the cost,
G C D Em
For he gave all his heart and lost.
