Love poem – I know I hardly know you
I know I hardly know you, I know I hardly know you, But I think that I may love you. You can see the way I look at you And know. I know you have a girlfriend, But I think we can be happy, So take the time to find out If it’s so. I […]
THE LAND OF PROMISE by Florence Earle Coates
Although the faiths to which we fearful clung Fall from us, or no more have might to save; Although the past, recalling gifts it gave, O’er lost delights a doleful knell have rung; Although the present, forth from ashes sprung, Postpone from day to day what most we crave, And, promising, beguile us to the […]
Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. […]
Women – by Louise Bogan
Women have no wilderness in them, They are provident instead, Content in the tight hot cell of their hearts To eat dusty bread. They do not see cattle cropping red winter grass, They do not hear Snow water going down under culverts Shallow and clear. They wait, when they should turn to journeys, They […]
Woman’s Day Poems – Woman by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Strange are the ways that her feet have trod Since first she was set in the path of duty, Finished and fair by the hand of God, To carry her message of love and beauty. Delicate creature of light and shade, She gleamed like an opal, on wide worlds under: And earth looked up […]

Echo – by Christina Rossetti
ECHO Come to me in the silence of the night; Come in the speaking silence of a dream; Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright As sunlight on a stream; Come back in tears, O memory, hope and love of finished years. O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet, Whose […]
The Baite – by John Donne
John Donne (1572-1631) The Baite Come live with mee, and bee my love, And wee will some new pleasures prove Of golden sands, and christall brookes: With silken lines, and silver hookes. There will the river whispering runne Warm’d by thy eyes, more then the Sunne. And there the’inamor’d fish will stay, Begging themselves […]
The Passionate Shepherd to His Love – by Christopher Marlowe
Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods or steepy mountains yields. And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks By shallow rivers, to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals. And I will make thee […]
O love me truly – by John Keats
You say you love; but with a voice Chaster than a nun’s, who singeth The soft vespers to herself While the chime-bell ringeth— O love me truly! You say you love; but with a smile Cold as sunrise in September, As you were Saint Cupid’s nun, And kept his weeks of Ember— O love […]
