EROTIQUE by MAUD LUDINGTON CAIN

First Line: WHEN I LOVED MY FIRST LOVE
Last Line: ALL THROUGH THE YEARS?
Subject(s): LOVE;
When I loved my first love,
I was gay and young,
Days were sweet with laughter,
Songs were on my tongue.

When I loved my next love --
Ah, but I was wise!
Him I met discreetly
With calm and steady eyes.

But when I loved my last love,
There were doubts and tears --
Which shall I remember
All through the years?
