What is Love? <br />Is it a folly, <br />Is it mirth, or melancholy? <br /> Joys above, <br />Are there many, or not any? <br /> What is Love? <br /> <br /> If you please, <br />A most sweet folly! <br />Full of mirth and melancholy: <br /> Both of these! <br />In its sadness worth all gladness, <br /> If you please! <br /> <br /> Prithee where, <br />Goes Love a-hiding? <br />Is he long in his abiding <br /> Anywhere? <br />Can you bind him when you find him; <br /> Prithee, where? <br /> <br /> With spring days <br />Love comes and dallies: <br />Upon the mountains, through the valleys <br /> Lie Love's ways. <br />Then he leaves you and deceives you <br /> In spring days.<br /><br />Ernest Christopher Dowson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-is-love-4/
