Love
To the Countess of Blessington
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
Since in the terrace-bower we sate
While Arno gleam'd below,
And over sylvan Massa late
Hung Cynthia's slender bow,
Ye ars after years have past away
Less light and gladsome; why
Do those we most implore to stay
Hun ever swiftest by!
