Don't give me love, don't give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don't give me love, I've had my share

Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

A crow flew to me, kept it's distance

Such a proud creation
I saw it's soul, envied it's pride
But needed nothing it had


An owl came to me, old and wise
Pierced right through my youth

I learned it's ways, envied it's sense
But needed nothing it had


Don't give me love, don't give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don't give me love, I've had my share

Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

A dove came to me, had no fear

It rested on my arm
I touched it's calm, envied it's love
But needed nothing it had


A swan of white, she came to me
The lake mirrored her beauty sweet

I kissed her neck, adored her grace
But needed nothing she could give


Got to grieve her, got to wreck it
Got to grieve her, got to wreck it
Got to grieve her, got to wreck it


Don't give me love, don't give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead

Don't give me love, I've had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead
