Is love ascendant, or cruelty
When gradeschool kids empty their sacks?
Floods of cards for some, some lack
Requisite popularity.
Couples may part because
Insufficient flower were offered
Chocolates were not profferred:
Such loves demand rich rewards.
Diamonds, roses, babies' breath,
Bouquets, proposals, jewelry
Feed the fatuous fantasy
That spell Love's death.

I would like to translate this poem
Will, Very insightful poem. Momentos are nice at the level afforded, but the baby's breath you mentioned is love's greatest valentine. Thanks for writing this. Jim
