EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 23. SOONER WOUNDED THAN CURED by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: BRIGHTER THAN LIGHTNING SHINE HER SPARKLING EYES
Last Line: TILL THEY HAVE MADE DEEP WOUNDS AND LASTING SMART.
Subject(s): LOVE;
BRIGHTER than lightning shine her sparkling eyes,
And quicker far they penetrate my heart,
Tho' quick to take, yet slow to leave the prize,
Till they have made deep wounds and lasting smart.
