But to see her was to love
her, love but her, and love her
forever
Robert
Burns
Come when my heart is
full of grief, Or when my heart is merry;
Come with the falling of the leaf, or with
the reddening cherry
Paul
Laurence Dunbar
Look not in
my eyes, for fear
They mirror true the sight I see, And
there you find your face too clear, And
love it and be lost like me
A. E.
Housman
Thou wert
my joy in every spot, My theme in every
song, And when I saw a stranger face Where
beauty held the claim, I gave it like a
secret grace The being of thy name. And
all the charms of a face or voice Which I
in others see Are but the recollected
choice Of what I felt for thee
John Clare
What love
is, if though wouldst be taught, Thy heart
must teach along-, two souls with but a
single thought, Two hearts that beat as
one
Friedrich
Halm
Just
because I love you- That's reason why. My
heart's a fluttering aspen leaf, When you
pass by.
Langston
Hughes
O my luve's
like a red, red rose. That's newly sprung
in June; O my luve's like a melodie That's
sweetly play'd in tune. As fair art thou,
my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I; And
I will love thee still, my Dear, Till a'
the seas gang dry. Till a' the seas gang
dry, my Dear, and the rocks melt wi' th
the sun: I will luve thee still, my Dear,
While the sands o' life shall run. And
fare thee weel my only Luve! And fare thee
weel a while! And I will come gain, my
Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile!
Robert
Burns
Fame, wealth, and honor!
What are you to Love?
Alexander
Pope
Were I as base as is
the lowly plain,
And you, my Love, as
high as heaven above,
Yet should the thoughts
of me, your humble swain,
Ascend to heaven in
honor of my love.
Were I as high as
heaven above plain,
And you, my Love, as
humble and as low
As are the deepest
bottoms of the main,
Wheresoe'er you were,
with you my love shouuld go.
Were you the earth,
dear Love, and I the skies,
My love should shine on
you like to the sun,
And look upon you with
ten thousand eyes
Till heaven waxed
blind, and till the world were dun.
Wheresoe'er I am,
below, or else above you,
Wheresoe'er you are, my
heart shall truly love you.
Joshua
Sylvester
We cannot kindle when we
will
The fire which in the heart resides;
The spirit bloweth and is still,
In mystery our soul abides.
Matthew Arnold
Our state
cannot be severed, we are one, one flesh;
to lose thee were to lose myself
John Milton
So shall a
friendship fill each heart, with perfume
sweet as roses are, That even though we be
apart, We'll scent the fragrance from
afar.
Georgia
McCoy
If a thing
loves, it is infinite
William Blake
Kisses are
better fate than wisdom
E. E. Cummings
