Yes, John, the bittersweet truth about youthful and not-so-youthful love! I'm not surprised The Spectator published it~~and I suspect you're already on the prowl for your next magazine lover.

Seven, John. A magic number.

I'm only counting six, though. But never, never, never mind, it's a fine poem indeed.

I think you missed the last never, Roger. On the next line. Thank you.

Cheers,

That's never number 6, John. Six is a magic number as well, so don't fret.

Love's sweet song goes on for ever,
Tinkling like September rain.
Love is gone and Love will never [1],
Never [2], never [3], never [4], never [5],
Never [6] light your life again.

"magazine lover" = the next magazine that will love you (not that you would spurn The Spectator of course! No need to be exclusive)
