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 ...!
