A Fool There Was 1936 'Rosalie'

A fool there was,
goes the story,
a fool there was not long ago,
who dreamed of love in all its glory.
He was mad, poor fool,
he didn't know.
This fool laid eyes on a maiden,
a maid as dazzling as the dawn.
And of course, the dunce,
fell in love with her at once,
but she laughed,
and told him to be gone.

A fool there was,
brokenhearted,
to see his dream suddenly die,
till he woke and said:
"My heart once ruled my head.
But no longer a fool am I!"
