WHEN LOVE IS COLD.

There are some things, that do exist,
That stand the test of time. the same,
That twist lip, and then untwist,
And then twist up again,
And no one knows or seems to care,
Or sees the least unworthy point,
Or feel 1t Is the worse for wear
Because 1t once was out of joint.
The sun may rise, the sun may set,
And yet next morning bright is seen;
More welcome to the faces met
Because the night has come between.
And many thing of highest mold
May vacilate and still remain,
But as for love when once it's cold,
It's never quite itself again.
A grateless son may curse his dad,
And lose his hope of earth and heaven,
Deny the honor he should have had,
Yet by that parent be forgiven.
We should forgive, so we are told
Full seventy and seven times the same;
But as for love, when once it's cold
It's never quite itself again.
Two friends "fall out. become estranged
And for while their friendship sever,
But time at length may bring a change,
They meet, make up, as good as ever,
The kindly shake of hands they hold,
Forgetting quite, which was to blame,
But as for love, when once it's cold
It's never quite itself again.
Love is brittle plant at best,
Like Jonah's gourd it's often found,
Bitten by the worm OF unfaithfulness
1t pines, and withers to the ground.
Those once repulsed, meet as of old,
The charm is flown, their words are vair
For as for love, when once it's cold
It's never quite itself again.
