“My heart's prepared for aching
The moment you take wing.
But not, my friend, for breaking
While there's another spring.”

Rhymes for the Irreverent (1965)
Context: My heart is like the willow
That bends, but never breaks.
It sighs when summer jilts her,
It sings when April wakes. So you, who come a-smiling
With summer in your eyes,
Think not that your beguiling
Will take me by surprise. My heart's prepared for aching
The moment you take wing.
But not, my friend, for breaking
While there's another spring.

“I tried very hard. But I can't help it. The Fates are cruel. They sent you to me, my brave one, knowing that you would break my heart.”

“You can't believe it, you can't conceive it,
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable,
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it,
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable.”

“Don't go breaking my heart.
I couldn't if I tried.
Honey if I get restless…
Baby you're not that kind.Don't go breaking my heart.

I gave you my key.”

“In my heart a place,
A most special place,
And it's all for you,
You're my girl, you're my, angel,
The will's the same for us,
Honey they can't be wrong,
Cause everybody knows it was hard to break the sorrow,
Then you came along”
