text_original: 82 THEN AND NOW. " I LOVED you then, and I sinned for you then, And the love was more than the sin ; But the past is the past, and never again — For the love is dead within. *' It saved my soul, that sin of old, — There 's nothing I could recall ; But to sin again, when the heart is cold. Were the deadliest sin of all.''
