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.
