Famous Poem
Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;

And the rivers with the ocean,

I'm sorry I love you as more than a friend,
But the love that I have doesn't come to an end.
You dwell in my thoughts, and to my mind I will keep
A love that's for you, a love I hide deep
It's been 2 months since you left
And I think about you every day,
Whenever I get lonely
I remember what you used to say
Waiting for you to call...
Knowing that you won't...
Hoping for you to come by...
Waiting...
Famous Poem
I went out to the woods to-day
To hide away from you,
From you a thousand miles away—
But you came, too.
Famous Poem
You will come one day in a waver of love,
Tender as dew, impetuous as rain,
The tan of the sun will be on your skin,
The purr of the breeze in your murmuring speech,
Famous Poem
The gay young men and the love-sick girls,
and the abandoned widows suffering in sleepless delirium,
and the young pregnant wives of thirty hours,
and the raucous cats that cruise my garden in the shadows,
