YOUNG LOVE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: When love is young like early buds of spring
Last Line: Theirs is the perfect song that life has sung.
Subject(s): Love; Sonnet (as Literary Form)


When Love is young like early buds of spring,
The blood of youth flows as a happy stream
So free. And tender is its every dream
That builds and builds the golden songs they sing;
Then to each tone and word heart tendrils cling
With strength like fervent tropic vines. They seem
As birds that sit and woo each sunny gleam
To warm their souls while cheery notes they fling
Skyward, marking never their trails of flight,
Nor measuring distances -- fleeting time;
Naught matters when the heart of Love is young,
No clouds can hide the starlit skies of night,
No heights too steep for youth to scale and climb,
Theirs is the Perfect Song that Life has sung.
