The Truth Of Love Poem by David Mitchell
The Truth Of Love
They say that Love is like a flow'r
Whose beauty blooms in June:
They have not known Love's awful pow'r
Whose fancy fades so soon.
It is not Love thus fades away;
'Tis but a youthful whim
That shines beneath the light of day,
And, when night comes, grows dim.
They say that Love light lightning
Strikes the soul, and soon decreases;
That Time and Love fly (fright'ning) ,
That Love goes just when Love pleases -
Had they but known the truth of love,
Their tongues they would restrain:
For no man 'neath the vault above
Has ever loved in vain.
