why must love be twined with sorrow
Why must love be twined with sorrow?
Why must love be twined with sorrow?
They issue from a single seed
Of joy and pain and hope and need
Both with roots that seek the marrow
More direct than any arrow
Why must love be twined with sorrow?
Why must love be twined with sorrow?
We temper swords in passions flame
The sharper now to issue pain
To hearts that beat and bleed in rivers
Dark the flow that Love delivers
