Don't idealise love
    it has its faults too
    many couples will
   to this bear testimony
   and assert it's true:

   life is no fairy-tale
   forget the Pollyanna
   and the Cinderella
   it's harsh and rough
   much too much by far-

   such a tale being told
   a sombre view of love we should take:
   like all things in human experience
  everything has its blemish--nothing's perfect!
