Some might think, perhaps, that I'm not pleased At how you've trivialized my name and day. In fact, I think romantic love's one way New recruits for paradise are seized. True, the object is the kind that's squeezed. Very well! We're flesh, and though we may Awaken first to lust, at last love's play Leads us to redemption by degrees. Each soul must find its way from love to Love, Needing love, beside itself with need, Though through pride, reluctant to give in. In cards and flowers, chocolate hearts, and such, None but must recite love's gentle creed, Each proclaiming tenderness within.
