WHEN LOVE IS KIND.
Reading edition
When Love is kind, Cheerful and free, Love's sure to find Welcome from me.
But when Love brings Heartache or pang, Tears, and such things— Love may go hang!
If Love can sigh For one alone, Well pleased am I To be that one,
But should I see Love given to rove To two or three, Then—good by Love!
Love must, in short, Keep fond and true, Thro' good report, And evil too.
Else, here I swear, Young Love may go. For aught I care— To Jericho.
