19 (i threw away my heart)


I THREW AWAY my heart in the world; you took it up.

I sought for joy and gathered sorrow, you gave me sorrow and I found joy.

My heart was scattered in pieces, you picked them up in your hand

and strung them in a thread of love.

You let me wander from door to door to show me at last how near

you are.

Your love plunged me into the deep trouble.

When I raised my head I found I was at your door.
