A love that blossoms soon, but ripens slowly
To the full goldenness of fruitful prime,
Enduring with a firmness that defies
All shallow tricks of circumstance and time;
By a sure insight knowing where to cling,
And where it clingeth never withering.”
Butler & Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome, and London.
