I Would Live in Your Love
     by Sara Teasdale

I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul as it leads.

 

My Loved One
    by Jonathan Lockwood Huie

You are my ground and you are my rainbow.
You are my butterfly and you are my ecstasy.
You are the start of my journeys and always my destination.
You are my home - the place to which I always return.

The Beauty Does Not Live Out There
    by Jonathan Lockwood Huie

The tears, the smiles, the pain, the ease; today is what I’ve got.
I change not fact, but what I see, with Joy I cast my lot.
The beauty does not live out there; the beauty’s in my eyes.
The scene may change, the cast may leave; the beauty never dies.

Sadness, Death, an End
     by Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Sadness, death, an end.
Where has the best of life gone?
Sweetness, surrender.

Buried Love
     by Sara Teasdale

I shall bury my weary Love
Beneath a tree,
In the forest tall and black
Where none can see.

I shall put no flowers at his head,
Nor stone at his feet,
For the mouth I loved so much
Was bittersweet.

I shall go no more to his grave,
For the woods are cold.
I shall gather as much of joy
As my hands can hold.

I shall stay all day in the sun
Where the wide winds blow,
But oh, I shall weep at night
When none will know
