Once upon a midnight dreary,
Arose two hearts alive but weary.
His was cold and cracked as ice,
Hers was whole and full of life.

She couldn't bring herself to bear,
To leave the one she had ignored,
No pain could two of them afford.
The song was sung none could forget,
Of those who need more than they get.
Life was shared with hearts combined,
No love stronger one could find.
