When I Am Dead, My Dearest, Cristina Georgiana Rossetti When I Am Dead, My Dearest Cristina Georgiana Rossetti(1830~94) : When I am dead my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree: Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet; And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget. I shall not see the shadows, I shall not hear the nightingale Sing on, as if in pain; And dreaming through the..
A Red, Red Rose, Robert Burns A Red, Red Rose Robert Burns(1759~1796) O! my love’s like a red, red rose, That’s newly sprung in June; O! my Love’s like the melodie That’s sweetly played in June. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in love 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’ the sun: O! I will love thee still, my dear, While the..

TO WOMAN, George Gordon, Lord Byron TO WOMAN George Gordon, Lord Byron Woman! experience might have told me That all must love thee who vehold thee: Surely experience might have taught Thy firmest promises are nought: But, placed in all thy charms before me, All I forget. but to adore thee. Oh memory! thou choicest blessing: When join'd with hope, when still possessing. But how much cursed by every lover When hope is fled and pssi..
AS THRO' THE LAND AT EVE WE WENT​​, Alfred Lord Tennyson AS THRO' THE LAND AT EVE WE WENT​​ Alfred Lord Tennyson As thro' the land at eve we went, And pluck'd the ripen'd ears, We fell out, my wife and I, O, we fell out, I know not why, And kiss'd again with tears. And blessings on the falling out That all the more endears, When we fall out with those we love And kiss again with tears! For when we came where lies the child We lost in other years, Ther..
LIFE IN A LOVE, Robert Browning LIFE IN A LOVE Robert Browning Escape me? never- Beloved! While I am I, and you are you, So long as the world contains us both, Me the loving and you the loth, While the one eludes, must the other pursue. My life is a fault at last, I fear- It seems too much like a fate, indeed! Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed- But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at str..
AN OLD SONG RESING, William Butler Yeats AN OLD SONG RESING William Butler Yeats Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet. She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree; But I' being young and foolish, with her would not aree. In a field by the river my love and I did stand, And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand, She bid me take life easy,..
THE TEAR, George Gordon, Lord Byron THE TEAR George Gordon, Lord Byron When Friendship or Love our sympathies move, When Truth in a glance should appear, The lips may beguile with a dimple or smile, But the test of affection's Tear. Too oft is a smile but the hypocrite's wile, To mask detestation or fear; Give me the soft sigh, whilst the soul-telling eye Is dimm'd for a time with Tear. Though my vows I can pour to my Mary no more..
Annabel Lee, Edgar Allan Poe Annabel Lee Edgar Allan Poe It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That maiden there lived whom you may know By the name on Annabel Lee;- And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. She was a child and I was a child, In this kingdom by the sea; But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee- With a love that winged s..
Rainbow Eyes, Rainbow Rainbow Eyes Rainbow She's been gone since yesterday oh I didn't care Never cared for yesterdays Fancies in the air No sighs or mysteries She lay golden in the sun No broken hamonies But I've lost my way She had rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Love should be a simple blend A whispering on the shore No clever words you can't defend They lead to never more Summer nights colder now They've taken clown th..
