love Poems

Love's Philosophy
The fountains Mingle with the River
and the Rivers with the Ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
with a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
all things by a lawy divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with Thine?

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
and the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother.
and the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?

Percy Bysshe Shelley

To My Dear and Loving Husband
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.'My love is such that rivers cannont quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so perserver,
That when we live no more we may live ever

Anne Bradstreet

and for my Favorite

Faults
They came to tell your faults to me,
They named them over one by one;
I laughed aloud when they were done,
I knew them all so well before;--
Oh, they were blind, to blind to see
Your faults had made me love you more.

Sara Teasdale
