They say that I never have written of love	A
As a writer of songs should do	B
They say that I never could touch the strings	C
With a touch that is firm and true	B
They say I know nothing of women and men	D
In the fields where Love's roses grow	E
And they say I must write with a halting pen	D
Do you think that I do not know	E
	-
When the love burst came like an English Spring	F
In days when our hair was brown	G
And the hem of her skirt was a sacred thing	F
And her hair was an angel's crown	G
The shock when another man touched her arm	H
Where the dancers sat round in a row	E
The hope and despair and the false alarm	H
Do you think that I do not know	E
	-
By the arbour lights on the western farms	I
You remember the question put	J
While you held her warm in your quivering arms	I
And you trembled from head to foot	J
The electric shock from her finger tips	K
And the murmuring answer low	E
The soft shy yielding of warm red lips	K
Do you think that I do not know	E
	-
She was buried at Brighton where Gordon sleeps	L
When I was a world away	M
And the sad old garden its secret keeps	L
For nobody knows to day	M
She left a message for me to read	N
Where the wild wide oceans flow	E
Do you know how the heart of a man can bleed	O
Do you think that I do not know	E
	-
I stood by the grave where the dead girl lies	P
When the sunlit scenes were fair	Q
And the white clouds high in the autumn skies	P
And I answered the message there	Q
But the haunting words of the dead to me	R
Shall go wherever I go	E
She lives in the Marriage that Might Have Been	S
Do you think that I do not know	E
	-
They sneer or scoff and they pray or groan	T
And the false friend plays his part	U
Do you think that the blackguard who drinks alone	T
Knows aught of a pure girl's heart	U
Knows aught of the first pure love of a boy	V
With his warm young blood aglow	E
Knows aught of the thrill of the world old joy	V
Do you think that I do not know	E
	-
They say that I never have written of love	A
They say that my heart is such	W
That finer feelings are far above	A
But a writer may know too much	W
There are darkest depths in the brightest nights	X
When the clustering stars hang low	E
There are things it would break his strong heart to write	Y
Do you think that I do not know	E
