ENGLISH POEMS

O my luve is like a red, red rose

1 O MY LUVE IS LIKE A RED, RED

ROSE

O my luve is like a red, red rose

That’s newly sprung in June

O my luve is like the melodie

That’s sweetly played in tune

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,

So deep in luve am I ;

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

Till a’ the seas gang dry

Till a’the seas gang dry my dear,

And the rocks melt wi’s the sun

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

While the sand o’life-shall run,

And fare thee weel, my only luve!

And fare thee weel a while!

And I will come again, my luve!

Tho’it were ten thousand mile

2 YOUR BEAUTY AND MY REASON

(ANORMOUROUS – ENGLAND)

Like two proud armies marching in the field,

Joining a thundering fight, each scorns to

yield,

So in my heart your beauty and my reason,

The one claims the crown, the other says tis treason

But o! your beaty shineth as the sun

And dazzled Reason yields as quite undone

3 MUTE LOVE (ANOMOUS – ENGLAND)

There is lady sweet and kind, Was never face so pleased my mind

I did but see her passing by, And yet I love her till I die

Her gesture, motion and her smiles

Her wit, her voice my heart beguiles, Beguiles my heart, I know not why, And yet I love her till I die

Cupid is winged and doth change;

Her country so my love doth change;

But change she earth, or change the sky, Yet I love her till I die

4 SO FAST ENTANGLED (ANOMOUS 16TH CENTURY) Her hair the of golden wire, Wherein my heart, led by my wandering eyes,

So fast entangled is that in no wire

It can, nor will, again retire;

But rather will in that sweet bondage die

Than break one hair to gain her liberty

5 LOVE ME NOT (ANORMOUS)

Love me not for comely grace,

For my pleasing eye or face,

Not for any outward part;

No, nor for a constant heart!

For these may fail or turn to ill;

So thou and I shall sever

Keep therefore a true woman’s eye,

And love me still, but know not why!

So hast thou the same reason still

To dote upon me ever

6 A WOMAN’S LOOKS (ANOMOUS

16TH CENTURY)

A woman’s looks

Are barred hooks,

That catch by art

The strongest heart,

When yet they spend no breath

But let them speak,

And sighing break

Forth into tears,

Their words are spears

That wound our souls to death

The ratest wit

Is made forget,

And like a child

Is oft beguiles With love’s sweet-seeming bait

Love with hs rod

So like a god Commands the mind

We cannto fine Fair shows hide fould deceit

Time, that all things

In order brings, Hath tsught me now

To be more slow

In giving faith to speech:

Since women’s words

No truth affords, And when thye kiss They think by this

Us men to overreach

7 BEAUTY (LAUREBCE BINYON- ENGLAND- 1869-?)

I think of a flower that no eyes has ever seen,

That springs in a solitary air

It is no one’s joy? It is beautiful as a queen Without a kingdom’s care

We have built houses for Beauty, and costly shrines,

And a throne in all men’s view;

But she was far on a hill where the morning

shines

And her steps were lost in the dew

8 WOMAN (OLIVER GOLDSMITH-

ENGLAND; 1730-1779)

When lovely woman stoops to folly

And finds too late that man betray

What charm can soothe her melancholy

What art can wash her tears away,

The only art be guilt to cover,

To hide her shame from every eye,

To give repentance to her lover,

And wring his bosom is- to die

9 OH, WHEN I WAS IN LOVE WITH

YOU

(ALFRED E.HOUSMAN- ENGLAND;

1859- 1936)

Oh, when I was in love with you,

Then I was clean and brave,

And miles around the wonder grew

How well did I behave

And now the fancy passes by,

And nothing will remain,

And miles around they’ll say that i

Am quite myself again

10 when I was one-and-twenty (ALFRED E.HOUSMAN –ENGLAND; 1859- 1936)

When I was one-and-twenty

I heard a wise man say,

“Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heat away;

Give pearls awat and rubies But keep your fancy free”

But I was one-and-twenty,

No use to talk to me

When I was one-and-twenty

I heard him say again,

“The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain;

‘tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue.”

And I am one-and-twenty And oh, ‘tis true’, tis true

11 ALONG THE FIELD AS WE CAME

BY (ALFRED E.HOUSMAN –ENGLAND; 1859- 1936)

Along the field as we came by

A year ago, my love and I The aspen over stile and stone Was walking to itself alone

“oh, who are these that kiss and pass?

A country lover and his lass

Two lovers looking to be wed;

And time shall put them both to bed

But she shall lie with earth above

And he beside another love.”

And sure enough beneath the tree

There walks another love with me

And overhead the aspen heaves

Its rainy-sounding silver leaves;

And I spell nothing in their stir,

But now perhaps they sepak to her

And plain for her to understand

They talk about a time at hand

When I shall sleep with clover clad

And she beside another lad

12 HE WAS WEAK AND I WAS

STRONG, THEN,

(EMILY DICINSON- US 1830-1886)

He was weak and I was strong then,

So he let me lead him in

I was was weak and he was strong then,

So I let him lead me home

It wasn’t far, the door was near,

It wasn’t dark, for he went too,

It wasn’t loud, for he said naught

That was all I cared to know, Day knocked, and we must part, Neither was stronger now

He strove, and I strove too

We didn’t do it through!

13 HEAVEN IN THESE LIPS (CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE- ENGLAND—1564-1613) Doctor Faustus, who has sold his soul to Mephistopheles, is granted a vision of Helen of Troy

….Was this the face that launched a thousand ships

And burnt the topless towers of llium?

Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss Her lips suck forth my soul- see where it flies!

Come, Helen, come give me my soul again Here I will dwell, for heaven is in these lips And all is dross that is not Helen

I will be Paris, and for love of thee Instead of troy shall Wittenberge be sacked, And I will combat with weak Menelaus And wear thy colors on my plumed crest; Yea, I will wound Achilles in the heel And then return to Helen for a kiss

O thou art fairer than the evening air Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars!

14 SONG

(CHALOTTE MEW-ENG- 1869-1928)

Love, love today my dear,

Love is not always here;

Wise maids know how soon grows sere

The greatest leaf of spring;

But no man knoweth

Whither it goeth

When the wind bloweth

So frail a thing

Love, love my dear today,

If the ship’s in the bay,

If the bird has come your way

That sings on summer trees

When his song faileth

And the ship saith

No voice avail

To call back these

15 JUST BECAUSE I I LOVE YOU

(LANGSTON HUGHES – US 1902-

1962)

Just because I love you

That’s the reason why

My soul is full of color

Like the wings of a butterfly

Just because I love you

That’s the reason why

My heart’s fluttering aspen leaf When you pass by

16 SEA LOVE (CHARLOTTE MEW- END- 1869-1928) Tide be runnin’ the great world over;

‘twas only last june month I mind that we Was thinkin’ the toss and the call in the breast of the lover

So everlasting sa the sea

Here’s the same little fishes that splutter and swim,

Wi’ the moon’s old glim on the gray, wet land;

And him no more to me nor me to him Than the wind goin’ over my hand

17 I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE GATE

(CHARLOTTE MEW- END- 1869-1928)

His heart to me, was a piece of palace and pinnacles and shining towers;

I saw it then as we see things in dream, I do not remember how long I slept,

I remember the trees, and the high, white walls, and how the sun was always on the towers;

The walls are standing today, and the gates;

I have been through the gate, I have groped,

I have crept

Back, back There is dust in the streets, and

blood, they are empty; darkness is over

them;

His heart is a place with the light gone out,

forsaken by great winds and the heavenly

rain, unclean and unswept,

Like the heart of the holy city, old, blind,

beautiful Jerusalem,

Over which Christ wept

18 THE FERYMAN ((CHARLOTTE

MEW- ENG- 1869-1928)

Little girl:

Ferry me across the water

Do, boatman, do

Ferryman:

If you’ve a penny in my purse

I’ll ferry you

Little girl:

I have a penny in my purse,

And my eyes are blue;

So ferry me across the water,

Do, boatman, do

Ferryman:

Step into my ferry-boat,

Be they black or blue, And for the penny in your purse I’ll ferry you

19 TO EDITH (BERTRAND RUSSELL ENG- 1872 1970) NOBEL PRIZE

Through the lng years

I sought Peace

I found Estasy

I found anguish

I found madness

I found loneliness

I found the solitary That gnews the heart But peace

I did not find

Now old and near my end

I have known you

I have found both Ecstasy and peace

I know rest After so many lovely years

I know what life and love may be Now if I sleep

I shall sleep fulfilled

20 TO THE MOON (PERCY

B.SHELLEY –ENG- 1792-1822)

Art thou pale for weariness

Of climbing heaven, and gazing on the

earth

Wandering companionless

Among the stars that have a different birth

And never changing, like a joyless eye

That finds no object worth its constancy

21 DURING MUSIC

(ARTHUR SYMONS ENG- 1865-?)

The music had the heat of blood,

A passion no words can reach,

We sat together, and understood

Our own heart’s speech

We had no need of word or sign,

The music spoke for us, and said

All that her eyes could read in mine

Or mine in hers had read

22 WANDERER’S SONG

(ARTHUR SYMONS ENG- 1865-?)

I have had enough of women, and enough

of love,

But the land waits, and the sea waits, and

day and night is enough

Give me a long white road, and the gray wide path of the sea

And the wind’s will and the bird’s will, and the heart-ache still in me

23 WHEN YOU ARE OLD (WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS- ISLAND 1863-1939 –NOBEL PRIZE

When you are old and gray and full of sleep And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true;

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face

And bending down beside the glowing bars Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled

And pace upon the mountains overhead And his face amid a crowd of stars

24 NEVER GIVE ALL THE HEART (WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS- ISLAND

1863-1939 –NOBEL PRIZE

Never give all the heart, for love

Will harly seem worth thinking of

To passionate women if it seem

Certain, and they never dream

That it fades out from kiss to kiss;

For everything that’s lovely is

But a brief dreamy, kind delight

O never give the heart outright,

For they, for all smooth lips can say,

Have given their hearts up to the play

And we could play it well enough

If deaf and dumd and blind with love?

He that made this knows all the cost,

For he gave all his heart and lost

25 FOR ANNE GREGORY

(WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS- ISLAND

1863-1939 –NOBEL PRIZE)

“never shall young man

Thrown into despair

By those great honey-coloured

Ramparts at your ear,

Love you for yourself alone

And nor your yellow hair”

“but I can get a hair-dye

And set such colour there

Brown, or black, or carrot, That young man in despair May love me for myself alone And not my yellow hair.”

“I heard and old religious man But yester night declare

That he had found a text to prove That only god, my dear,

Could love you for yourself alone And not our yellow hair.”

26 A SONG WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS- ISLAND 1863-1939 –NOBEL PRIZE)

I thought no more was needed Youth to prolong

Than dumb bell and foil

To keep the body young

O who could have foretold That the heart grows old?

Though I have many words, What woman’s satisfied,

I am no longer faint Because at her side?

O who could have foretold

That the heart grows old?

I have not lost desire

But the heart that I had;

I thought would burn my body

Laid on the death-bed,

For who could have foretold

That the heart grows old?

27 THE SORROW OF LOVE

WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS- ISLAND

1863-1939 –NOBEL PRIZE)

The quarrel of the sparrows in the caves,

The full found moon and the star-laden sky,

And the loud song of the ever-singing

leaves,

Has his away earth’s old and weary cry

And then you came with those red mournful

lips,

And will you come the whole of the world’s

tears,

And all the trouble of her laboring ships,

And all the trouble of her myriad years

And now the sparrow warring in the eaves,

The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the

sky

And the loud chaunting of the unquite leaves,

Are shaken with earth’s old and weary cry
