Question: A poem about one who claims my loyalty, your comments!?
MY FOREIGN LOVE

My foreign love is a lady
Who speaks to me in whispers
Of love, respect, compassion, trust
She cries but never whimpers
Her concern for all that's just
My foreign love is a lady

My foreign love is a lady
In English fine and lovely French
She speaks Inuit and Cree
Each language as her own
Japanese and Korean
As well by her are known

My foreign love is a lady
Unlike her native sister here
Who took my vows freely given
And played the whore and broke
Them with vanity and pride
Dishonoured and denied

My foreign love is a lady
She owned her sister's due
Faithful remained with humility
Exiles maintained through martyrdom
Not maintaining right by might
My foreign love is a lady

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux;
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
My lady is my love indeed
And although I'm foreign
By her love I'm freed
Et par l'effort de son génie,
Sur notre sol asseoir la vérité!.

It is lovely, in English and in French!. I have been to Canada; you seem to feel about her as I feel about my Island!. But this is special and I'm not going to translate!. (It is worth going to a dictionary, people)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe this is talking about the love of the land or more precise the love of France! Not exactly sure but this is what my interpretation was! Cheers!
