Truncated Sonnet: ''What Is Love''

Love, Love, Love, what is Love?
     Love soars, and fears no height;
     Love is joy, and feels right;
Love's god-like, from above.
Love softens the stone heart,
     and pierces the dark night;
     Love shines forth heaven's light,
and stays,—to ne'er depart.
Love loves you at all cost,
     and gives eternal life;
Love saves the dead and lost
     (steals from Death his own scythe!):   
for Love's God's free-giv'n grace,
which saves our fallen race.
