Poems:
First Love---John Clare(1793-1864)

I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet.
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.
My face turned pale as deadly pale,
My legs refused to walk away,
And when she looked, what could I ail?
My life and all seemed tuened to clay.

And then my blood rushed to my face
And took my sight away.
The trees and bushes round the place
Seemed midnight at noonday.
I could not see a single thing,
Words from my heart did start;
They spoke as chords do from the string
And blood burnt round my heart.

Are flowers the winter's choice?
Is love's bed always snow?
She seemed to hear my slient voice
And love's appeal to know.
I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before;
My heart has left its dwelling-place
And can return no more.

Song:
My heart will go on--Celine Dion
