Love and Age
Leigh Hunt
1784 to 1859
When young, I loved. At that delicious age,
So sweet, so short, love was my sole delight;
And when I reached the time for being sage,
Still I loved on, for reason gave me right.
Age comes at length, and livelier joys depart,
Yet gentle ones still kiss these eyelids dim;
For still I love, and love consoles my heart;
What could console me for the loss of Him?
Leigh Hunt's Love and Age
I am busy working to bring Leigh Hunt's "Love and Age" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Leigh Hunt's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Love and Age" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
