... true
love is a durable fire, in the mind
ever burning, never sick, never old,
never dead, from itself never turning
Sir
Walter Raleigh
Love
makes those young whom age doth chill,
and whom he finds young keeps young
still
William
Cartwright
Now
the rite is duly done, Now the word is
spoken, And the spell has made us one
Which may ne'er be broken
Winthrop
Mackworth Praid
My
fellow, my companion, help most dear,
My soul, my other self, my inward
friend.

of my flesh, bone of my bone, I here,

Each
shining light above us has its own
perticular grace; but every light in
heaven is my darling's face.
John Hay
Those
worlds, for which the conqueror sighs,
For me would have no charms: My only
world thy gentle eyes-My throne thy
circling arms! Oh yes, so well, so
tenderly Thou'rt loved, adored by me,
Whole realms of light and liberty were
worthless without thee
Thomas
Moore
I
think true love is never blind, but
rather brings an added light, an inner
vision quick to find the beauties hid
from common sight. No soul can ever
clearly see anothers highest, noblest
part; Save through the sweet philosphy
and loving wisdom of the heart.
Phoebe
Cary
Love
is not getting, but giving; It is
goodness and honor, and peace and pure
living
Henry
Van Dyke
Were
you the earth, dear Love, and I the
skies, my love should shine on your
like to the sun. And look upon you
with ten thousand eyes Till heaven
wax'd blind, and till the world were
done
Joshua
Sylvester
How
much do I love thee? Go ask the deep
sea. How many rare gems in its coral
caves be; or ask the broad billows.
That ceaselessly roar, How many bright
sands do they kiss on the shore
Mary
Ashley Townsend
I'll
love him more, more than eer wife
loved before. Be the days dark or
bright
Jean
Ingelow
The
violet loves a sunny bank. The
cowslip loves the lea, The scarlet
creeper loves the elm. But I
love-thee.
The sunshine kisses mount and vale.
The stars they kiss the sea, The west
winds kiss the clover bloom, But I
kiss-thee.
The oriole weds his mottled mate, The
lilys bride o the bee; Heavens
marriage ring is round the earth,
-shall I wed thee?
Bayard
Taylor
One
heart's enough for me-One heart to
love, adore-One heart's enough for
me-O. who could wish for more? The
birds that soar above, and sing their
songs on high, Ask but for one to love
and therefore should Not I?
One pair of eyes to gaze. One pair of
sparkling blue, In which sweet love
betrays Her form of fairest hue; One
pair of glowing checks, Fresh as the
rose and fair, Whose crimson blush
bespeaks the health that's native
there.
One pair of hands to twine Love's
flowers fair and gay. And form a
wreath divine, Which never can decay;
And this is all I ask, One gentle form
and fair-Beneath whose smiles to bask
And learn love's sweetness there.
Auguste
Mignon
Come
live with me and be my love, And we
will all the pleasures prove, That
hills and valleys, dales and fields,
Woods or craggy mountains yield.
Christopher Marlowe
Our
boat to the waves go free. By the
bending tide, where the curled wave
breaks. Like the track of the wind on
the white snowflakes; Away, away! 'Tis
a path o'er the sea
William
Ellery Channing |
