Once Upon A Love

That was a time I first fell in love
But now I wail, I lament
'Tis sad how I lost so much time
To compass my content

The day wherein I saw too late
Oh, the follies of a lover
The moment I felt such loss
As care shall never recover

That fateful night, the minute of mishap
Makes me thus to plain
The doleful fruits of a lover's pursuits,
Which labor lose in vain

Doth make me solemnly protest
As I in pain, parted from this clove
No time, year, day or hour
Nor a minute, good to love

A reflective title...nostalgia, pain , lament, loss...thts my interpretation of the poem!


"No time, year, day nor hour
Nor a minute, good to love"...fabulous lines...
