LOVE IS NOT WINGED, by                    
First Line: Who gave love wings? Whose pencil drew the line
Last Line: The man's a fool who ever mentioned wings.
Subject(s): Love - Nature Of


WHO gave Love wings? Whose pencil drew the line
Or fingers modelled wax to that design?
To sketch a swallow was his only art,
A man unschooled to know the god apart.
Love is no feather-weight: whom love attacks
Have pains to shift that burden from their backs, --
A load so plaguy where he sits and clings
The man's a fool who ever mentioned wings.
