This is a minor re-write of a lyric from G+S's "The Sorcerer." I read it at my middle son's wedding it went down very well. However it seemed to complement your poem. Gilbert was a great romantic. Other classics include, "Sorry her lot"-HMS Pinnafore, "The sun whose rays"-Mikado, "I know a lad"-Ruddigore. LOVE. Love feeds on many kinds of food, I know, Some love for rank, and some for duty: Some give their hearts away for empty show, And others love for youth and beauty. To love for money all the world is prone: Some love themselves, and live all lonely: Give me that love that loves for love alone- I love that love- I love it only! What person for any other joy can thirst, Whose loving mate adores them duly? Want, misery, and care may do their worst, If loving companion loves you truly. A lover’s thoughts are ever with their own- None truly loved is ever lonely: Give me that love that loves for love alone I love that love-I love it only.
