Give this poem to N...... I'll remember what did You say with me.......
........[Luv You]........[Luv 4ever].......
WHEN I WAS SIXTEEN
When I was sixteen
I heard a wise man say
"Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free."
But I was sixteen,
No use to talk to me.
When I was sixteen
I heard him say again,
"The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue."
And I am seventeen,
And oh, tis true, tis true.
........[Luv You]........[Luv 4ever].......
