WHY BE WOEFUL OF FAILED LOVE?-- a terzanelle
WHY BE WOEFUL OF FAILED LOVE?-- a terzanelle


[It is better to love than not to love at all. Pure love will endure. Impure one is best forgotten.]




If love is pure, it is nice.
In love it is just a fact:
Impure love cannot suffice.

Love needs a heart full of tact.
Without tact, love is a drag;
In love it is just a fact.

Lovers may advance or lag,
But one must remember this:
Without tact, love is a drag.

Though to win in love we wish,
And we spin many a dream,
But one must remember this:

If we fail let us not scream.
Having loved is a reward.
And, we spin many a dream.

To be in love once again,
If love is pure, it is nice.
Having loved is a reward.
Impure love cannot suffice.
