WHY BID LOVE STAY? by HARRY HIBBARD KEMP

First Line: WHY BID LOVE STAY BEYOND THE DAY
Last Line: TURN EVERLASTING LOVER.
Subject(s): LOVE;

WHY bid love stay beyond the day
Or dure beyond the morrow?
There's naught can stay with yea or nay
This joy that touches sorrow.

But he who gives love with both hands
May, ere he part, discover
One who doth wend a passing friend
Turn everlasting lover.
