A love in verse

The best have loved the worst

Love’s no criterion

Of merit – that I am first

In your regard who’ve none


Won’t shift my zero-rating

Still I’m a lucky lad

No sign your love’s abating

And life is far from bad


And maybe when I hear you

Tell me your love goes on

I find I so revere you

The odds for change are On

Even the dull eternal afternoon 

Lit dustily by sun on the Eastern side

Of dear old Mafeking gleams...

Unending

I know now it cannot end

Eternity would have to bend

Before our love’s large strength...
