Ahmed Mora
A PIECE OF ADVICE
Look not just at whats lovely,
It might let you down
Look, though, at your Mistress
Who loves you so much.
When the violet flowers
Its hard to prevent;
When its you she admires
Its hard to forget.
Theres no spring without lilies,
No heart without blood:
No winter lacks tempests,
Theres no heart without love.
So, all who are wise, lose no time:
Though the ocean deceives you, plunge
Deep to its prime.
Though the moon should betray you,
Fly with it, be part;
And if the girl loves you, Oh! Oh, then
Doubtless, give her your heart.
London, 1968
