This song was quoted in the text posted by Cameron back in 1998:

From the sheet music at The University of Illinois at Chicago:


THE MANSION OF ACHING HEARTS
Words by Arthur J Lamb; music by Harry Von Tilzer; ©1902.

1. The last dance was over; the music had ceased;
And the dancers were leaving the hall.
A few men were saying their last goodbyes
To the beautiful belle of the ball.
Alone by the window a youth sadly stands.
His heart she had stolen away,
And just as he gazed on her beautiful face,
He was startled to hear someone say:

CHORUS: She lives in a mansion of aching hearts.
She's one of a restless throng.
The diamonds that glitter around her throat,
They speak both of sorrow and song.
The smile on her face is only a mask,
And many the tear that starts,
For sadder it seems when of mother she dreams
In the mansion of aching hearts.

2. Alone by the fireside, a man sadly looks
At a picture that hangs on the wall.
He has never forgotten the sad sweet face
Of the beautiful belle of the ball.
He's reading her letter: "My picture I send.
I have loved you, but only in vain.
Oh, try to forget that we ever have met."
Then he thinks with a heart full of pain: CHORUS
