LOVE'S LESSON by PIERRE DE RONSARD

First Line: THE MOON EACH MONTH IS BLENCHED
Last Line: BELONGS INFINITY.
Subject(s): KISSES; LOVE; MOON; SLEEP;
THE moon each month is blenched
Brighter to rise;
But once life's light is quenched,
Then shall our eyes
Long sleep be taking,
With no awaking.

Then kiss me, while we live
Above the ground!
A thousand kisses give --
Love knows no bound.
To His divinity
Belongs infinity.
