Unbridled hope is a kindness
To a foolish heart in love.
For Reason brings with Her
Discouragement and Caution.
To love with reckless abandonment
Would mean not to know
Nor to care
About the price to be paid
Or battles to be fought
For to love and defend so completely
Would leave no room
For Logic and her sensible sisters
With every crevice of the heart
Already claimed
By the enticing fervour
And irrational hopefulness
Of new love
Which knows no fear of the unknown
And has no regard for defeat.
