Poem by George Crabbe

The Learning of Love

[About 1776]

Ah! blest be the days when with Mira I took
The learning of Love....
When we pluck'd the wild blossoms that blush'd in the grass,
And I taught my dear maid of their species and class;
For Conway, the friend of mankind, had decreed
That Hudson should show us the wealth of the mead.
