Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,<\/p>\n
Which I gaze on so fondly today<\/p>\n
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,<\/p>\n
Like fairy-gifts fading away,<\/p>\n
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,<\/p>\n
Let thy loveliness fade as it will,<\/p>\n
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart<\/p>\n
Would entwine itself verdantly still.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,<\/p>\n
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,<\/p>\n
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,<\/p>\n
To which time will but make thee more dear;<\/p>\n
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,<\/p>\n
But as truly loves on to the close,<\/p>\n
As the sun-flower turns on her god, when he sets,<\/p>\n
The same look which she turned when he rose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
