Love br Is a ripe plum br Growing on a purple tree. br Taste it once br And the spell of its enchantment br Will never let you be. br br Love br Is a bright star br Glowing in far Southern skies. br Look too hard br And its burning flame br Will always hurt your eyes. br br Love br Is a high mountain br Stark in a windy sky. br If you br Would never lose your breath br Do not climb too high.
