From 'A Modest Love' by Sir Edward Dyer (1543 - 1607)
The lowest trees have tops, the bird her call
The slender hairs cast shadows, though but small
And bees have stings, though not great
And love is love
And love is love
Where waters smoothest run, there deepest are the fords
The firmest faith is found in fewest words
And seas have their source, and so have shallow springs And love is love
And love is love
True hearts have ears and eyes, no tongues to speak
They hear and see, and sigh, and then they break
The lowest trees have tops, the bird her call
The slender hairs cast shadows, though but small
And bees have stings, though not great
And love is love
And love is love
Where waters smoothest run, there deepest are the fords
The firmest faith is found in fewest words
And seas have their source, and so have shallow springs And love is love
And love is love
True hearts have ears and eyes, no tongues to speak
They hear and see, and sigh, and then they break
