Sunshine and shadow and laughter and tears,
These are forever the paints of the years,

The new shawl, the new comb, the new fan,
The new rose, the new lover.

Now the "rosy morn appearing"
Floods with light the dazzled heaven;
And the schoolboy groans on hearing
That eternal clock strike seven:-
Ode - So dear my Lucio is to me
© William Shenstone
So dear my Lucio is to me,
So well our minds and tempers blend,
That seasons may for ever flee,
And ne'er divide me from my friend;
But let the favour'd boy forbear
To tempt with love my only fair.
How Long Wilt Thou Love Me?

How long wilt thou love me, O my love?
"As long as life may be."
