Ah! Poems!
 

In this page you'll find some of the poems I like…they talk about LOVE. I'd like to share them with you, if you have never read them, and even if you did. I put them here since sometimes I imagine Berubara characters reciting them to one another to express their deep love.

This page is under construction!
 

 

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Sonnet XLIII

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints, — I love thee with the breadth,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! — and, if God choose,

I shall love thee better after death.
 

 

William Shakespeare

Sonnet LVII

Being your slave, what should I do but tend

Upon the hours and times of your desire?

I have no precious time at all to spend,

Nor services to do, till you require.

Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour,

Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,

Nor think the bitterness of absence sour,

When you have bid your servant once adieu;

Nor dare I question with my jealous thought,

Where you may be, or your affairs suppose;

But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought,

Save, where you are how happy you make those.

So true a fool is love, that in your will

(Though you do anything) he thinks no ill.
