That Love would prove so hard a master.

When first we kissed beside the thorn,
So strangely sweet, it was not strange
We thought that love could never change.

That love will change in growing old;
Though day by day is nought to see,
So delicate his motions be.

I have loved flowers that fade,
Within whose magic tents
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmemoried scents:
A honeymoon delight,
A joy of love at sight,
That ages in an hour
My song be like a flower!

For in thy face is nought to find,
Only thy soft unchristened smile,
That shadows neither love nor guile.

I love all beauteous things,
I seek and adore them;
God hath no better praise,
And man in his hasty days Is honored for them.

Robert Bridges

How nought is changed: Joy's wisdom is attired
Splended for others' eyes if not for thee:
Not love or beauty or youth from earth is fled:
If they delite thee not, 'tis thou art dead.
