PROGRESSIVE LOVE by AMELIA WOODWARD TRUESDELL

First Line: WHO SAYS THAT A SECOND IS NOT AS GOOD?
Last Line: AND ITS PRESENT IS FIRE DIVINE.
Subject(s): COURTSHIP; LOVE; YOUTH;
Who says that a second is not as good?
That a third should never be had?
Let him try a fourth in an Alpine hood;
And a fifth is not half bad.

Then here's to the latest; there'll be no last,
Till Death cries "Ho, you're mine;"
Love's eternal youth has no future or past,
And its present is fire divine.
