Words of Love..

 
Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
or cool one Pain

Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain.
   
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Oh listen while I sing to thee,
My song is meant for thee alone;
My thought imparts its melody,
And gives the soft impassioned tone.

I sing of joy, and see thy smile
That to the swelling note replies;
I sing of love, and feel the while
The gaze of thy love-beaming eyes.

If thou wert far, my voice would die
In murmurs faint and sorrowing;
If thou wert fake--in agony
My heart would break, I could not sing.

Then listen while I sing to thee,
My song is meant for thee alone;
And now that thou art near to me
I pour a full impassioned tone.
Charlotte Dacre
"Il Trionfo del Amor"
So full my thoughts are of thee, that I swear
All else is hateful to my troubled soul;
How thou hast o'er me gained such vast control,
How charmed my stubborn spirit, is most rare!

Sure thou hast mingled philtres in my bowl,
Or what thine high enchanted arts declare
Fearless of blame--for truth I will not care
(So charms the witchery), whether fair or foul.

Yet well my lovesick mind thine arts can tell;
No magic potion gav'st thou, save what I
Drank from those lustrous eyes when they did dwell
With dyaing fondness on me--or thy sigh

Which sent its perfumed poison to my brain.
Thus known thy spells, thou bland seducer, see--
Come practise them again, and oh! again;
Spellbound I am, and spellbound wish to be.
