"All thoughts, all passions, all delights,"

Ah Love! Could thou and I with Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire
Would not we shatter it to bits – and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart’s Desire!
Omar Khayyam – 11th century astronomer-poet of Persia

Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief! who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in.
Say I’m weary, say I’m sad;
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I’m growing old, but add –
Jenny kissed me.
James Henry Leigh Hunt 1784-1859
(Jenny Kiss’d Me)

O my Luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.

As Fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will love thee still m Dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
O I will love 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 again, my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile!
Robert Burns 1759 – 1796
(A Red, Red Rose)

Fain would I change that note
To which fond love hath charmed me,
Long, long to sing by rote,
Fancying that that harmed me;
Yet when this thought doth come
Love is the perfect sum
Off all delight.
I have no other choice
Either for pen or voice,
To sing or write:

O love, they wrong thee much,
That say thy sweet is bitter,
When thy ripe fruit is such
As nothing can be sweeter.
Fair house of joy and bliss,
Where truest pleasure is,
I do adore thee:
I know thee what thou art,
I serve thee with my heart,
And fall before thee.
Anon

I have remembered beauty in the night,
Against black silences I waked to see
A shower of sunlight over Italy
And green Ravello dreaming on her height;
I have remembered music in the dark,
The clean swift brightness of a fugue of Bach's,
And running water singing on the rocks
When once in English woods I heard a Lark.

But all remembered beauty is no more
Than a vague prelude to the thought of you-
You are the rarest soul I ever knew,
Lover of beauty, knightliest and best;
My thoughts seek you as waves that seek the shore,
And when I think of you, I am at rest.
Sara Teasdale 1884 - 1933

Come live with me and be my Love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
Or woods or steepy mountain yields.

And we will sit upon the rocks,
And see the shepherds feed their flocks
By shallow rivers, to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.

And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies;
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle.

A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold.

A belt of straw and ivy buds
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my Love.

The shepherd swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my Love.
Christopher Marlowe 1564 – 1593
(The Passionate Shepherd to His Love)

My dearest, my beautiful, will you write to me again, will you say that word which, in this last letter, you timidly avoid? I shall tremble with an exquisite happiness, if I read it written by you. Will you give me that moment of delight?

I look at your portrait. It shows one of the sweetest faces I ever saw, but your own face of today is more beautiful, fuller of meaning. I have no words to utter the sense of worship with which I think of your pure and noble nature legible to me in your face, audible in your voice, and expressed so plainly in your letter. Dearest, you are very far above me, and it is strange, strange, that you should care to be loved by me. And yet, I think no one could love you so profoundly as I do. We have met only twice, have written two or three times to each other and I know you better than any other woman, I feel you are more to me than any living soul.

I will have no more doubts and fears. You, you, shall save me out of my dark cheerless life. I will live for you, work for you, think only of you, make you the whole end and purpose of my being. Dearest, dearest, I love you beyond all that I ever imagined of love. You are the incredible woman the ideal of a passionate heart; yet you live, you write to me, I hear your voice as I read your letters. And I shall some day hear you say to me, with your very lips, what you have not yet dared to write.

May I not hope for that?
George Gissing 1857 – 1903
(A Young Mans Desire)

Strephon kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.

Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,
Robin's lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin's eyes
Haunts me night and day.
Sara Teasdale 1884 - 1933
(The Look)

A book of verse, underneath the bough,
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread - and thou
Beside me singing in the wilderness -
Ah, wilderness were paradise now!
Omar Khayyam – 11th century astronomer-poet of Persia

My love she wears a cotton plaid,
A bonnet of the straw;
Her cheeks are leaves of roses spread,
Her lips are like the haw.
In truth she is as sweet a maid
As true love ever saw.

Her curls are ever in my eyes,
As nets by Cupid flung;
Her voice will oft my sleep surprise,
More sweet then ballad sung.
O Mary Bateman's curling hair!
I wake, and there is nothing there.

I wake, and fall asleep again,
The same delights in visions rise;
There's nothing can appear more plain
Than those rose cheeks and those bright eyes.
I wake again, and all alone
Sits Darkness on his ebon throne.

All silent runs the silver Trent,
The cobweb veils are all wet through,
A silver bead's on every bent,
On every leaf a bleb of dew.
I sighed, the moon it shone so clear;
Was Mary Bateman walking here?
John Clare 1793 1864
(Mary Bateman)

I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.

You have been mine before,
How long ago I may not know:
But just when at that swallow's soar
Your neck turned so,
Some veil did fall, I knew it all of yore.

Has this been thus before?
And shall not thus time's eddying flight
Still with our lives our love restore
In death's despite,
And day and night yield one delight once more?
Dante Gabriel Rossetti 1828 1882
(Sudden Light)

I am he that aches with amorous love;
Does the earth gravitate? Does not all
Matter, aching, attract all matter?
So the body of me to all I meet or know.
Walt Whitman 1819 - 1892
