love poetry #1
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship out on the sea
Thou who rulest when wanted
Stand by me
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I do the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
love poetry #2
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs are bent with thick set fruit
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea
My heart is gladder than all these,
My heart is gladder than all these,
Because my love is come to me.
Raise my a dias of silk and down
Hang it with vair and purple dyes
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleur de lys
Because the birthday of my life Is come,
my love is come to me.
