I think I would vote for the "that" in line 13 as a demonstrative which refers to the kind of love mentioned in the few lines prior. Nice poem, though. Punctuation! Yes, a big problem. Editors think they are smarter than the original authors of things sometimes and distort meanings as a result, as well as destroying some kind of history. Poetry, especially, deserves preservation.
