Shakespeare

Except from Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2

Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt my love.

O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers.  I have not art to reckon my groans, but that I love thee best, oh, most best, believe it. Adieu.

Loving Tenderness Abounds

Loving tenderness abounds for all
From the darkest 
To the most eminent one beyond the stars,
Exquisitely loving all
She bequeaths the kiss of peace
Upon the ultimate king.

The Child Compassion

Unwelcome child

Compassion come

Into my heart

As to the womb,



 How heavily

It laboureth

In anguish to

Bring thee to birth,



 O puny babe

With thy frail cry

Too weak to live

Too strong to die.



 Unwilling mother

I confessed

Do suckly thee

Upon my breast

Spirit, Silken Thread

Spirit, silken thread,

Lightly wind

Through the fingers

Of my soul

She is blind. . . .




 I Take Thee, Life

I take thee, Life,

Because I need,

A wanton love

My flesh to feed.



 But still my soul

Insatiate

Cries out, cries out

For its true mate.

Love Song

Though to think

Rejoiceth me,

Love I will

Not think of Thee,



 Though thy heart's

my resting place

Yet I will

Not seek embrace,



 Not till soul

Has shed her pain

Will I come

To Thee again.



 And then when

My heart is free

I will give

It back to thee.

Nightingales

Beautiful must be the mountains whence ye come,
And bright the fruitful valleys and streams, from whence
Ye learn your song:
 Where are those starry woods?  O might I wander there,
Among the flowers, which in that heavenly air
Bloom the year long!

Nay, barren are those mountains and spent those streams:
Our song is the voice of desire, that haunts our dreams,
A throe of the heart,
Whose pining visions dim, forbidden hopes profound,
No dying cadence nor long sigh can sound,
For al...

This is a sampling of some poets whom I have come to know and love. If you find something you like, look up the poet and do some research. I don't like typing up the really long stuff, so if you don't look them up, you might miss their best stuff! Anyway, enjoy my poetry addiction!
