			<title>Plea for Love</title>
			<description>&amp;nbsp;If I could find a way for me to show you how I feel,I&amp;rsquo;d have to place my heart before your gaze as down I kneel.All open to your scorn and as expos&amp;egrave;d to the shameThat all around would gift me with as I breathe out your name.&amp;nbsp;It is the only thing that I can offer a..</description>

			<title>Give Me Not Roses</title>
			<description>&amp;nbsp;Oh, give me not roses all sparkling with dew,For flowers soon wither away;Nor give me bright jewels with their dazzling hues,For their glitter will soften and fade.&amp;nbsp;And give me not words of whose worth you know naught,For sentiments change with the day;Just give me a love ..</description>
