Authors:
  • I wish I could remember the first day,
    First hour, first moment of your meeting me;
    If bright or dim the season it might be;
    Summer or winter for aught I can say.
    So, unrecorded did it slip away,
    So blind was i to see and to forsee,
    So dull to mark the budding of my tree
    That would not blossom, yet, for many a May.
