Love in their little veins inspires <br />their cheerful notes, their soft desires. <br />While heat makes buds and blossoms spring, <br />those pretty couples love and sing. <br />But winter puts out their desire, <br />and half the year they want love's fire.<br /><br />Thomas Shadwell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-in-their-little-veins-inspires/
