The last fruit off a tree is oft more sweet <br />And finely flavoured than the first, and so <br />Within life's autumn men may pleasures pluck <br />As sweet as youth's, and more sufficing than <br />The rank and rare enjoyments of the boy.<br /><br />Robert Crawford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/youth-and-age-8/
