Every Lover Must Meet His Fate 1913 'Sweethearts'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 24 Mar 2004

When love would have stood as my master,
when love would have led me a pace,
my heart never beat any faster,
and I only laughed in his face.

Girls fair as the rarest of flowers,
girls all very charming to see,
I've woo'd in the fairest of bowers;
still you find me happily free!

While my heart is my own,
and love I deny,
still, when I am alone,
for love I do sigh.

But ev'ry lover must meet his fate,
so for that hour
my heart will wait.
As all surrender
who would defy?
to tempting kisses tender,
so will I, will I!
