Analysis of As pure as love



I asked  Spring to describe you,  
it gave me a branch of flowers from its garden

I asked Summer where is love’s home,
it gave me the warmth of its blazing sun

I whispered your name to Autumn,
it gave me the golden sunset of its horizon

I asked Winter define love to me,
It gave me the sign of the moon in its sky
