LOVES FIRST TASTE
The worst of fears that night time brings,
which self-suppressed her long lived joys
and cloaked her unencumbered dreams,
had blunted sensibilities.
And though she walked unsteadily
unbalanced by invidious thoughts,
the leaden hand that grasped her soul
released its hold by slow degree.
As sunbeams weave tomorrow’s dreams
and melted notions soon dispel,
so prospects came with reasons change
absorbed in love’s first taste.
