First Love

by Alexsander Pushkin

First Love is from his collection Poems by Alexander Puskin (1888), translated by Ivan Panin.

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!
