125134Ben King's Verse — Lovey-LovesBenjamin Franklin King

Oh, love! let us love with a love that loves,
  Loving on with a love forever;
For a love that loves not the love it should love--
  I wot such a love will sever.
But, when two loves love this lovable love,
  Love loves with a love that is best;
And this love-loving, lovable, love-lasting love
  Loves on in pur love's loveliness.

Oh, chide not the love when its lovey-love loves
  With lovable, loving caresses;
For one feels that the lovingest love love can love,
  Love on in love's own lovelinesses.
And love, when it does love, in secret should love--
  'Tis there where love most is admired;
But the two lovey-loves that don't care where they love
  Make the public most mightily tired.
