DISTRUSTED.
You will know some time, my darling, That I never wronged you, never;That all my heart and soul are yours Forever and forever.
But you will learn, my darling, Too late for tears or grieving,The bitter falsehood of the tale You crushed me in believing.
I loved you, oh! my darling, Too trustingly to doubt you,And pulse by pulse my life has failed Since I have lived without you.
You would not hear, my darling, My wild impassioned pleading,But tore my breaking heart from yours, And tossed it from you bleeding.
