Classic Poem

" First " in my heart? Why, she is all my heart.
There is no other;
Tho' I in her esteem have but a part,
And many a brother.

" First " in my love? I have no other love
Nor recollection.
Yet many names are writ my name above
In her affection.

" First " in my life? Tell me that she must die —
My life is over!
Tell her that I am dead — she'll give a sigh
For her old lover.
