Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna of Russia, 1813

　　Not at once our youth is faded, Not at once our joys forsake us, And happiness we unexpected Yet embrace shall more than once; But ye, impressions never-dying Of newly trepidating Love, And thou, first flame of Intoxication,— Not flying back are coming ye!
