| Fuess and Stearns, comps. The Little Book of Society Verse. 1922. | | | | When Love Is Kind | | By Thomas Moore |
| | | WHEN Love is kind, | |
| Cheerful and free, | |
| Love’s sure to find | |
| Welcome from me. | |
| |
| But when Love brings | 5 |
| Heartache or pang, | |
| Tears, and such things— | |
| Love may go hang! | |
| |
| If love can sigh | |
| For one alone, | 10 |
| Well pleased am I | |
| To be that one. | |
| |
| But should I see | |
| Love given to rove | |
| To two or three, | 15 |
| Then—good-bye, Love! | |
| |
| Love must, in short, | |
| Keep fond and true, | |
| Through good report, | |
| And evil too. | 20 |
| |
| Else, here I swear, | |
| Young Love may go, | |
| For aught I care— | |
| To Jericho. | | | | |
|
