       First Love 
      "I Love You!" 
      When was this last said? 
      Did bells ring out? 
      Were poems read? 
      Did people shout 
      And music ring? 
      Did dancers whirl 
      And Oysters bring forth pearls? 
      This the joy you bring! 
        Let blossom heavy the branches of Spring 
        Let the skies blaze, and the seas part! 
        You warm my tears to happy laughter, 
        You are my sun! My enchanter! 
        Let it be so. Always.
