Robert Greene Heart Poems

When thou art old there 's grief enough for thee.

Father's sorrow, father's joy;

When thou art old there's grief enough for thee.

Father's sorrow, father's joy.

When thou art old there 's grief enough for thee.

Father's sorrow, father's joy;

Or but as mild as she is seeming so,
Then were my hopes greater than my despair,
Then all the world were heaven, nothing woe.
