Ah, love is deathless! we do cheat <br />Ourselves who say that we forget <br />Old fancies: last love may be sweet, <br />First love is sweeter yet. <br /> <br />And day by day more sweet it grows <br />For evermore, like precious wine, <br />As Time's thick cobwebs o'er it close, <br />Until it is divine. <br /> <br />Grows dearer every day and year, <br />Let other loves come, go at will; <br />Although the last love may be dear, <br />First love is dearer still.<br /><br />George Frederick Cameron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-love-112/
