Love Is Cruel, Love Is Sweet

Love is cruel, love is sweet,--
      Cruel, sweet.
Lovers sigh till lovers meet,
      Sigh and meet--
Sigh and meet, and sigh again--
Cruel sweet!  O sweetest pain!

Love is blind -- but love is sly,
      Blind and sly.
Thoughts are bold, but words are shy
      Bold and shy--
Bold and shy, and bold again--
Sweet is boldness,-- shyness pain.

    he says it all

    From guest eltice katt (contact)
    MacDonagh says it all about love. Its beautiful, but it can also hurt you. i think that this guy really knew what he was talking about. maybe he wrote this at a time when he felt that his heart was ripped out, or he had fallen in love once again. who knows?
