EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 15. RATHER DEEDS THAN WORDS by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: YOU SAY YOU LOVE, BUT I HAD RATHER SEE'T
Last Line: BUT DOING, DOING, THAT'S THE PROVING PART.
Subject(s): ACTIVITY; LANGUAGE; LOVE; EXERCISE; WORDS; VOCABULARY;

YOU say you love, but I had rather see't
Show Love's impressions in a wounded heart;
Words are but wind, and strangers thus may greet.
But doing, doing, that's the proving part.
