Chapter 30 Love Song for Lucinda

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