-
Love I Cherish
Poet: J. S. Ogilvie
Worlds may pass away and perish,
Every feeling die away.
But the constant love I cherish,
Never shall decay. -
Without Thee I Am All Unblest
Poet: Unknown
Afar from thee! 'Tis solitude,
Though smiling crowds around me be,
The kind, the beautiful, the good -
For I can only think of thee;
Of thee, the kindest, loveliest, best,
My earliest and my only one;
Without thee, I am all unblest,
And wholly blest with thee alone.
Afar from thee! The words of praise
My listless ear unheeded greet;
What sweetest seem'd in better days.
Without thee seem'd no longer sweet;
The dearest joy fame can bestow
Is in thy moisten'd eye to see;
And in thy cheeks' unusual glow,
Thou deem'st me not unworthy thee.
Afar from thee! The night is come,
But slumbers from my pillow flee;
I cannot rest so far from home.
And my heart's home is love with thee.
I kneel before the throne of prayer,
And then I know that thou art nigh;
For God, who seeth everywhere.
Bends on us both His watchful eye.
Together, in His loved embrace.
No distance can our hearts divide;
Forgotten quite the 'mediate space,
I kneel thy kneeling form beside;
My tranquil frame then sinks to sleep,
But soars the spirit far and free;
Oh welcome be night's slumbers deep!
For then, dear love! I am with thee. -
Never Cease To Love
Poet: J. S. Ogilvie
Oh no! The heart, which is the seat
Of love like mine, can never rove;
Its faithful pulse may cease to beat.
But never - never cease to love:
For love is past the earth’s control
And soaring as an ocean wave
It is eternal as the soul.
And lives and blooms beyond the grave.
It is a link of pleasure’s chain,
A never-ending token.
Whose lustre and whose strength remain.
When all save that are broken. -
Love Me At Last
Poet: Alice Corbin
Love me at last, or if you will not,
Leave me;
Hard words could never, as these half-words.
Grieve me:
Love me at last - or leave me.
Love me at last, or let the last word uttered
Be but your own;
Love me, or leave me - as a cloud, a vapor.
Or a bird flown.
Love me at last - I am but sliding water
Over a stone. -
It Takes Great Love
Poet: Charlotte Perkins Stetson
It takes great love to stir the human heart
To live beyond the others and apart.
A love that is not shallow, is not small,
Is not for one or two, but for them all.
Love that can wound love for its higher need;
Love that can leave love, though the heart may bleed;
Love that can lose love, family and friend,
Yet steadfastly live, loving, to the end.
A love that asks no answer, that can live
Moved by one burning, deathless force--to give.
Love, strength, and courage; courage, strength, and love.
The heroes of all time are built thereof. -
Love
Poet: J. S. Ogilvie
Love! What a volume in a word! an ocean in a tear!
A seventh heaven in a glance! a whirlwind in a sigh!
The lightning in a touch - a millennium in a moment!
What concentrated joy, or woe, in blest or blighted love! -
Our Love Blossoms
Poet: C. A. Lynch
In the tapestry of life's grand design,
Falling in love with you, a stroke divine.
Your laughter fills my world with gleaming light,
And in your arms, all seems perfectly right.
Our journey of love, a path strewn with grace,
Each fleeting moment I yearn to embrace.
As seasons change and days keep flowing free,
Our love blossoms like the grandest tree. -
Indivisible
Poet: Jane C. Simpson
A moment face to face they stood,
While soul met soul in honest eyes
That trembling glowed through unshed tears,
Born of a love that never dies.
They met to speak the saddest word
That e'er on human lips can dwell:
But, O, the mockery to dream
That such as these could take farewell!
For as two roseate clouds unite,
In wake of the departed sun,
Their kindred essence pure and sweet,
These twain had softly merged in one.
They might be severed pole from pole,
Might live through all the years apart;
What mattered time and space to them
Whose home was in each other's heart?
He craved a tress of that fine gold
Whose wavy wreaths her forehead graced;
Bending to grant the boon, he clasped
A zone of pearl about her waist.
A moment more, and he was gone
From sight, nought else. High heart and mind,
Stronghold of tenderness and truth,
Defied the hour, and stayed behind!
The seasons rolled, and ne'er again
Thus face to face 'twas theirs to stand;
Yet heart to heart they walked the world
On to the goal, the silent land.
O gift of gifts! a noble soul
That wraps our own in full embrace,
Till all mean things in love's great sea
Are lost, and self hath no more place. -
Love's Roses
Poet: Kate Louise Wheeler
When love ’woke from slumber,
At the dawn of day,
Roses without number
Bloomed upon his way;
But when noonday splendor
With her sunlight stayed,
Roses, young and tender,
Soon began to fade.
When the night winds sighing
’Round Love’s portals play,
Rose leaves, crushed and dying,
Soon will blow away. -
Love Me For
Poet: Elise Pumpelly Cabot
Love me not for my sake alone,
Love me for the sake of nothing that is known,
Love me for thy sake and for my sake,
and for what thou feelest.
Though all things fail thee, still thou stealest
The light of the soul. -
In Love's Embrace
Poet: C. A. Lynch
In love's embrace, joy finds its tune,
A melody sweet, like a soft monsoon.
Warmth wraps around, a cozy glove,
Your love, a comfort, my heart does move.
Enriching life with hues so bright,
You're my light in the darkest night.
Completeness whispers in each sweet kiss,
In your love, I find eternal bliss. -
I Live To Love
Poet: Effie May
"I live to love," said a laughing girl.
And she playfully tossed each flaxen curl.
As she climbed on her loving father's knee,
And snatched a kiss in her childish glee.
"I live to love," said a maiden fair,
As she twined a wreath for her sister's hair;
They were bound by the cords of love together,
And death alone could those sisters sever.
"I live to love," said a gay young bride.
Her loved one standing by her side;
Her life told again what her lips had spoken.
And ne'er was the link of affection broken.
"I live to love," said a mother kind
"I would live a guide to the infant mind."
Her precepts and example given,
Guided her children home to heaven.
"I shall live to love," said a fading form,
And her eye was bright, and her cheek grew warm,
As she thought in the blissful world on high
She would live to love, and never die.
And ever thus in this lower world
Should the banner of Love be wide unfurled;
And when we meet in the world above.
May we love to live, and live to love!
