Love that Lies

Love that steals
Love that kills
Love that lies
That my child is forbidden love

Love that hates
Love that puts asunder
Love that consumes
That my child is forbidden love

Love that cheats
Love that conceals
Love that perishes
That my child is forbidden love

In prior lines seats wisdom
For if ought as these thou chance upon
Child take to heels, forbidden love it is!
