Oh Loves sweet strange beginnings -
What a mystery is found in thee?
What special doorway in thou is't,
leading to eternity?
Love has in its character -
And like a mirror behaves -
To turn the reflection of the lover,
Into the beloved so craved.
When a boy admires some hero,
he'll walk and talk and act the same -
When a girl admires some example -
she'll model herself, and twin that flame.
When a woman loves her child,
She is transformed into a mothers grace,
She is transfigured in her manner,
bearing the same, but so different a face.
When a man is a lover of money,
protecting his big pile of gold -
He slowly transforms into a dragon,
only by a cold hold consoled...
Love in the natural is dangerous!
Of earthly things breeds but death...
But love given to the innocent,
that love is a bringer of breath...
Love so enraptures the mortal heart -
For the divinity burns away all deceit -
Love ennobles and steals away,
Making this world obsolete.
