Love is a bubble
Language: English
Love is a bubble, Love is a trouble, Love is a sigh, And love is a grin. Love is sweet honey, Love is cold money, Love is a lie, And love is a sin. Love is a jig -- So tread you a measure; Love is a dirge -- So fill you with grief; Love is bright wine -- To quicken your pleasure ; Love's the North Wind -- And Man the dead leaf.
