What would I give for a heart of flesh to warm me through
Instead of this heart of stone ice-cold whatever I do!
Hard and cold and small, of all hearts the worst of all
What would I give for words, if only words would come!
But now in its misery my spirit has fallen dumb
O merry friends, go your own way, I have never a word to say
What would I give for tears! Not smiles but scalding tears
To wash the black mark clean, and to thaw the frost of years
To wash the stain ingrain, and to make me clean again
Instead of this heart of stone ice-cold whatever I do!
Hard and cold and small, of all hearts the worst of all
What would I give for words, if only words would come!
But now in its misery my spirit has fallen dumb
O merry friends, go your own way, I have never a word to say
What would I give for tears! Not smiles but scalding tears
To wash the black mark clean, and to thaw the frost of years
To wash the stain ingrain, and to make me clean again
