Cupid's Grammar 1905 'Happyland'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 17 May 2005

Cupid, asked for information,
by a little dove:
"Oh, won't you give me the relation
of the word to love?"
Quite beyond comparison
and yet compared it must be,
Cupid said: "I'll gladly teach you
come say now after me, after me,
after me,

I love, you love, I love, you love,
that is the lesson my dear.
He loves, she loves, he loves, she loves
what is the feeling now over me stealing?
Ah, we love, you love, they love, you love,
that's all there is, dear,
to learn from this I glean, dear,
all, all it can mean, dear
is I love, I love you.

Strangely now that question olden,
answered I require
just sure to solve the riddle golden
I would fain desire.
Show me proper sequence now
coached in simple phrases true,
I will listen and repeat them
oh so gladly after you, after you,
after you.

I love, you love, I love, you love,
that is the lesson my dear.
He loves, she loves, he loves, she loves
what is the feeling now over me stealing?
Ah, we love, you love, they love, you love,
that's all there is, dear,
to learn from this I glean, dear,
all, all it can mean, dear
is I love
I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you.
