Let us set our hearts a-flutter,
weave a tale of candid lovers;
star-crossed, starlit, little stars,
rehearsing our pretend parts.
Let us play with one another,
teach our souls to sweetly suffer;
coax a love to swiftly grow
then bury it in icy snow.
Let us fool with one another,
tempt a love that lasts forever;
pluck a heart and make it ache,
and by departing, make it break.
---
And do not think my kiss is true,
or that my tears are shed for you;
for we but fooled with one another.
(And taught my soul to sweetly suffer.)
