Romantic Poems
throughout the ages.
(Why not find your own true love through
online dating agencies !)
Thomas Stanley
The Magnet
Ask the Empress of the night
How the hand which guides her sphere,
Constant in unconstant light,
Taught the waves her yoke to bear,
And did thus by loving force
Curb or tame the rude sea's course.
Ask the female palm how she
First did woo her husband's love;
And the magnet, ask how he
Doth the obsequious iron move;
Waters, plants and stones know this,
That they love, not what love is.
Be not then less kind than these,
Or from love exempt alone;
Let us twine like amorous trees,
And like rivers melt in one;
Or if thou more cruel prove
Learn of steel and stones to love.
