Look Not to Me for Wisdom
Look not to me for wisdom,
There's naught you shall be told;
I make the moon my loving cup
And toast the spilling gold.
Look not to me for wisdom—
The cup is warm above,
And I shall drink of kisses,
So look to me for love.
When love speaks well of wisdom,
Watch out, and guard your heart,
Oh, do not give it wholly,
Or happiness depart.
For love with me is courage,
A vagabond, a road,
Two roving underneath the moon,
And on their hearts no load.
For love with me is madness—
Go to, who would be wise!—
For oh, she talks of wisdom
With challenge in her eyes.
There's naught you shall be told;
I make the moon my loving cup
And toast the spilling gold.
Look not to me for wisdom—
The cup is warm above,
And I shall drink of kisses,
So look to me for love.
When love speaks well of wisdom,
Watch out, and guard your heart,
Oh, do not give it wholly,
Or happiness depart.
For love with me is courage,
A vagabond, a road,
Two roving underneath the moon,
And on their hearts no load.
For love with me is madness—
Go to, who would be wise!—
For oh, she talks of wisdom
With challenge in her eyes.
