COLD HANDS.
Cold hands, cold heart, and if the heart be cold,
Cold heart cold love, the ending is soon told:
Cold love will change and shortly pass away.
Cold hands, cold heart, the life and all things chill,
Cold heart, cold love, the love an icicle.
What hope can be that such a love will stay:
Cold hands, warm heart they say, we hope the best,
Warm heart, warm love, give those and keep the rest,
Warm heart, warm love, will never pass away,
Cold hands, cold heart, darling, if thine be such,
Cold heart, cold love, will slay love with a touch;
And love, once slain, no second life remains.
Cold hands, cold heart, and is it so with thee?
Cold heart, cold love, then, darling, pity me,
And let me go while yet some life remains.
-Irish Times.
