<h2> AN EARLY LOVE </h2>
<p>Ah, sweet young blood, that makes the heart<br/>
So full of joy, and light,<br/>
That dying children dance with it<br/>
From early morn till night.<br/>
<br/>
My dreams were blossoms, hers the fruit,<br/>
She was my dearest care;<br/>
With gentle hand, and for it, I<br/>
Made playthings of her hair.<br/>
<br/>
I made my fingers rings of gold,<br/>
And bangles for my wrist;<br/>
You should have felt the soft, warm thing<br/>
I made to glove my fist.<br/>
<br/>
And she should have a crown, I swore,<br/>
With only gold enough<br/>
To keep together stones more rich<br/>
Than that fine metal stuff.<br/>
<br/>
Her golden hair gave me more joy<br/>
Than Jason's heart could hold,<br/>
When all his men cried out—Ah, look!<br/>
He has the Fleece of Gold!<br/></p>
