OH, love! let us love with a love that loves, Loving on with a love forever; For a love that loves not the love it should love -- I wot such a love will sever. But, when two loves love this lovable love, Love loves with a love that is best; And this love-loving, lovable, love-lasting love Loves on in pure love's loveliness. Oh, chide not the love when its lovey-love loves With lovable, loving caresses; For one feels that the lovingest love love can love, Loves on in love's own lovelinesses. And love, when it does love, in secret should love -- 'Tis there where love most is admired; But the two lovey-loves that don't care where they love Make the public most mightily tired. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DIRGE FOR A SOLDIER [SEPTEMBER 1, 1862] by GEORGE HENRY BOKER THE BROWN THRUSH by LUCY LARCOM SHE IS FAR FROM THE LAND by THOMAS MOORE ENVOI by JOHN GNEISENAU NEIHARDT SIT DOWN SAD SOUL by BRYAN WALLER PROCTER AN ECHO FROM WILLOW-WOOD by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
