“And when I first saw you I first loved you
With a song that I sang to the fire in your eyes”

Hoyt Axton (1938–1999) American country singer

Context: And when I first saw you I first loved you
With a song that I sang to the fire in your eyes
But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy
And you carried that lie for the devil to sing Some sail rivers deep and muddy some sail rivers clear and cold
But the river that I'm sailin' goes to sea
And sometimes I do grow weary sometimes I feel old
And sometimes I wonder if you think of me

“I cannot say what loves have come and gone,
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.”

Sonnet XLIII: "What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why" (1923), Collected Poems", 1931
Context: Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone,
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.

Slow to begin, and never ending;
Of serious faith, and inward glee;
That was the song,—the song for me!”
