LITTLE Love into my bosom darted,
He kindled a flame there and then departed:
From his fluttering wings as he fled, the air
Blew out the flame he had kindled there:
Little Love flew to my bosom once more,
And kindled a flame as he'd done before;
The fire that he lighted now blaz'd so high
The flame caught his wings as he spread them to fly;
And in spite of himself Little Love must stay,
For his pinions are burnt and won't bear him away.
