CHRISTIAN LOVE by FRIEDRICH VON LOGAU

First Line: WHILOM LOVE WAS LIKE A FIRE, AND WARMTH AND COMFORT IT BESPOKE
Last Line: BUT, ALAS! IT NOW IS QUENCHED, AND ONLY BITES US, LIKE THE SMOKE.

Whilom Love was like a fire, and warmth and comfort it bespoke;
But, alas! it now is quenched, and only bites us, like the smoke.
