Love poems

William Cowper

To a Young Lady

Sweet stream that winds through yonder glade,
Apt emblem of a virtuous maid-
Silent and chaste she steals along,
Far from the world's gay busy throng:
With gentle yet prevailing force,
Intent upon her destined course;
Graceful and useful all she does,
Blessing and blest where'er she goes;
Pure-bosom'd as that watery glass,
And Heaven reflected in her face.

  • 'The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.'
    ~ Elie Wiesel
  • '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
  • 'Work and love—these are the basics. Without them there is neurosis.'
    ~ Theodor Reik
