The Maiden Love

Love is kind, love is cruel.

Love.

She is wicked, she is cruel.

Love.

Whom played me for a fool.

 

She laid me down within her crystal pool,

Said "There is only but one rule."

 

Love.

She whom warned me then and there

That here by after,

She would not care.

 

She'd leave me forth within the dust,

Alone to die;

Alone to rust.
