Moonlight lyrics

It will not hurt me when I am old,
       &nbsp A running tide where moonlight burned
       &nbsp        &nbsp Will not sting me like silver snakes;
The years will make me sad and cold,
       &nbsp        &nbsp It is the happy heart that breaks.

The heart asks more than life can give,
       &nbsp When that is learned, then all is learned;
       &nbsp       &nbsp The waves break fold on jewelled fold,
But beauty itself is fugitive,
       &nbsp       &nbsp It will not hurt me when I am old.
