Quotes from Beautiful Love Poems

  • “Her gesture, motion, and her smiles,

    Her wit, her voice my heart beguiles,

    And yet, I’ll love her till I die.”
    – There Is a Lady Sweet and Kind, Thomas Ford

  • “Drink to me, only with thine eyes

    And I will pledge with mine;

    Or leave a kiss but in the cup,

    And I’ll not look for wine.

    The thirst that from the soul doth rise

    Doth ask a drink divine:

    But might I of Jove’s nectar sup

    I would not change for thine.”
    –To Celia, Ben Johnson

  • “I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.” – XVII, Pablo Neruda
  • “Take, oh, take those lips away That so sweetly were forsworn And those eyes, like break of day, Lights that do mislead the morn; But my kisses bring again, Seals of love, though sealed in vain.” – Take, Oh, Take Those Lips Away – John Fletcher
