Love poems
Sidney Lanier
Evening Song
Look off, dear Love, across the sallow sands,
And mark yon
meeting of the sun and sea;
How long they kiss in sight of all the
lands,
Ah! longer, longer we.
Now, in the sea's red vintage melts the sun
As Egypt's pearl
dissolved in rosy wine
And Cleopatra night drinks all. 'Tis
done,
Love, lay thine hand in mine.
Come forth, sweet stars, and comfort heaven's heart,
Glimmer,
ye waves, 'round else unlighted sands;
Oh night! divorce our sun and sky
apart
Never our lips, our hands.
Citate de dragoste
- 'This is one of the miracles of love: It gives … a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.'
~ C S Lewis - 'I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion - I have shudder'd at it. I shudder no more.
I could be martyr'd for my religion. Love is my religion.
And I could die for that. I could die for you.'
~ John Keats - 'I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.'
~ Dorothy Fields
