Romantic Poems
throughout the ages.
(Why not find your own true love through
online dating agencies !)
John Donne
The Good-morrow
I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I
Did, till we loved? were we not weaned till then?
But sucked on countrey pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we in the seaven sleepers den?
T'was so; but this, all pleasures fancise bee.
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desired, and got, t'was but a dreame of thee.
And now good morrow to our waking soules,
Which watch not one another out of feare;
For love, all love of other sights controules,
And makes one little roome, an every where.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
Let Maps to others, worlds on worlds have showne,
Let us possesse one world, each hath one, and is one.
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appeares,
And true plaine hearst doe in the faces rest,
Where can we finde two better hemispheares
Without sharpe North, without declining West?
What ever dies, was not mixt equally;
If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die.
