Other Words

If love had another name
        would be equally tender, smooth
        and biased affection ...
        If the rose was called thorn,
        it would still be charming,
        smelling ... still charming and elegant.
        If the devil was called God,
       this God would lose the grandeur
       and would hate to be called God ...
       If life were death,
       it would still be desirable
       and hotly dear ...
      But if death were life,
      would be vilified, rejected and
      no one would desire her
      as a friend ...!
