AMANTIUM IRAE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love hath querulous grown and sad
Last Line: We should have parted yesterday.
Alternate Author Name(s): Faulks, Frederick J., Mrs.
Subject(s): Kisses; Love; Quarrels; Arguments; Disagreements


LOVE hath querulous grown and sad --
We should have parted yesterday;
A wistful lass and a tender lad --
Pity it was we chose to stay.

Over-long was the joy we had --
Why we wearied what man may say?
Love hath querulous grown and sad --
We should have parted yesterday.

O, to have said when hearts were glad,
"Kiss me and go," as lovers may.
Now we sneer that the dream was mad,
Yawn and wonder and turn away.
Love hath querulous grown and sad --
We should have parted yesterday.
