Sheer Jealousy For My Lady Irene Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Triple triolet

Thou knowest that I love thee well
I never tire of telling thee
nor dost thou tire of hearing me.

Thou always smilest pleasantly.
Sometimes a little wickedly.
Thou knowest that I love thee well.

Thou knowest that I love thee well
On that we can both agree
we live together happily.
Thou knowest that I love thee well.

Though other folks may doubt our claim.
Methinks they show their jealousy
Because they do not want to see

A couple unafraid to be
in love and show it easily
Though other folks may doubt our claim.

Though other folks may doubt our claim.
We can state with honesty,
we never ever disagree.
Though other folks may doubt our claim
-
They are entitled to their view.
We will not stoop to argument,
we know that we are well content


They are entitled to their view.
Although of course we cant agree,
we can accept quite easily
They are entitled to their view.
