Robert Bridges (1876)

When first we met, we did not guess
    That Love would prove so hard a master;
Of more than common friendliness
When first we met we did not guess.
Who could foretell the sore distress,
    This irretrievable disaster,
When first we met?—We did not guess
    That Love would prove so hard a master.
