lyrics

The Sorrow of True Love
BY EDWARD THOMAS

Am C G Dm
The sorrow of true love is a great sorrow
Am G F Am
And true love parting blackens a bright morrow:
Am Dm G Dm
Yet almost they equal joys, since their despair
Dm Em Bb F
Is but hope blinded by its tears, and clear
Am Dm Am Dm G Dm G Dm
Above the storm the heavens wait to be seen.
F C Dm Am
But greater sorrow from less love has been
F C Dm G
That can mistake lack of despair for hope
Bb C Dm G
And knows not tempest and the perfect scope
Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm
Of summer, but a frozen drizzle perpetual
F C Dm Am
Of drops that from remorse and pity fall
Bb C Dm F
And cannot ever shine in the sun or thaw,
Dm Am Bb C Dm
Removed eternally from the sun’s law.
