Love is a bubble

A. Foote

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.
