Like a young eagle who has lent his plume
To fledge the shaft by which he meets his doom,
See their own feathers pluck'd to wing the dart
Which rank corruption destines for their heart.

Thomas Moore

And when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen,
The maiden herself will steal after it soon.

Thomas Moore

But there's nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream.

Thomas Moore

There is nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dreams.

Thomas Moore

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts fading away.
Thou wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will,
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart,
Would entwine itself verdantly still.

Thomas Moore

And the wind, full of wantonness, woos like a lover The young aspen-trees till they tremble all over.

Thomas Moore
