JAMB - Literature In English (2013 - No. 19)

This question is based on Literary Appreciation.

The body perishes, the heart stays young.
The platter wears away with serving food.
No log retains its bark when old,
No lover is peaceful while the rival weeps.

From the poem above, "No lover is peaceful while the rival weeps" means that
the pain of one lover is felt by the other
there is no permanent love
there is true and permanent love
the two lovers weep together
