=Love Poems<3 =

Longing  By: Matthew Arnold  Come to me in my dreams, and then By day I shall be well again! For so the night will more than pay The hopeless longing of the day. Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times, A messenger from radiant climes, And smile on thy new world, and be As kind to others as to me!

Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth , Come now, and let me dream it truth, And part my hair, and kiss my brow, And say, My love why sufferest thou?

Come to me in my dreams, and then By day I shall be well again! For so the night will more than pay The hopeless longing of the day.

** Love's Philosophy By: Percy Bysshe Shelley **  The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of Heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion ; Nothing in the world is single , All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle - Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea - What are all these kissings worth If thou kiss not me?

** Under the Harvest Moon By: Carl Sandburg ** Under the harvest moon, When the soft silver Drips shimmering Over the garden nights, Death, the gray mocker, Comes and whispers to you As a beautiful friend Who remembers.

Under the summer roses When the flagrant crimson Lurks in the dusk Of the wild red leaves, Love, with little hands, Comes and touches you With a thousand memories, And asks you Beautiful, unanswerable questions.

All three of these poems are similar in the fact that they are all centered around the theme of love. They are different because, since love is such a broad term, they tell about it, and describe it and its effects in different ways. Each poem is written differently because the author's writing styles all differ from one another. The theme of love is evident in all three poems. When you read these three poems, it's not hard to tell that they are about love.

My favorite poem of these three is the third one, "Under the Harvest Moon." I liked this poem because when I read it, I could taste the autumn air, I could see the moon, the dew covered fields, the bright wild roses and the leaves that cover the ground. The imagery was great in this poem. This poem was also different from the other two poems. The other two show love in a physical relationship between two people. This poem is, I think, about the love that is in the air. A harvest moon is pretty romantic, in my opinion. I just really enjoyed reading this poem, and I think others will too. Its very well written and I can see, smell, and taste the atmosphere when I read it.
