Twenty-Five Years, and Still You Are in Love Twenty-five years, and still you are in love! What river does not deepen as it flows? Each day your love increases as it goes, Nourishing the lands through which it moves. The love that lasts is deeper far than passion. Years pass and it abides beneath the light. Few know the secrets of its dark delight, Intent on all the toys that are in fashion. Vivid lusts yield pleasures that soon cease. Each year of love yields happiness and peace.
