When We Two Parted When We Two Parted Lord Byron When we two parted/In silence and tears/half broken-hearted/ to sever for years Pale grew thy cheek and cold/Colder thy kiss
Loves Philosophy Love s Philosophy Percy Shelly The fountains mingle with the river/And the rivers with the Ocean. What are all these kissings worth/If thou kiss not me?
Porphyrias Lover Porphyria s Lover Robert Browning The sullen wind was soon awake And strangled her. And all night long we have not stirred/And yet God has not said a word!
Sonnet 29 Sonnet 29 I think of thee! I think of thee! Elizabeth Browning My thoughts do twine and bud/About thee, as wild vines, about a tree, Rustle thy boughs and set thy trunk all bare I do not think of thee I am too near thee.
Neutral Tones Neutral Tones Thomas Hardy The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing/Alive enough to have strength to die your face, and the God-curst sun, and a tree, And a pond edged with greyish leaves
Letters From Yorkshire Letters From Yorkshire Maura Dooley My heartful of headlines/feeding words onto a blank screen Watching the same news in different houses/our souls tap out messages across the icy miles.
The Farmers Bride The Farmer s Bride Charlotte Mew I chose a maid/Too young maybe but more s to do/At harvest-time than bide and woo. We chased her, flying like a hare her eyes, her hair, her hair!
Walking Away Walking Away Cecil Day Lewis A sunny day with leaves just turning, saying what God alone could perfectly show how selfhood begins with a walking away and love is proved in the letting go
Eden Rock Eden Rock Charles Causley The sky whitens as if lit by three suns They beckon to me from the other bank Crossing is not as hard as you might think
Follower Follower Seamus Heaney I was a nuisance, tripping, falling/Yapping always. But today, it is my father who keeps stumbling/Behind me, and will not go away.
Mother, any distance Mother, any distance Simon Armitage Anchor. Kite I space-walk through the empty bedrooms your fingertips still pinch the last one- hundredth of an inch I reach/towards a hatch that opens on an endless sky/to fall or fly.
Before You Were Mine Before You Were Mine Carol Ann Duffy I m not here yet. The decade ahead of my loud, possessive yell was the best one, eh? stamping stars from the wrong pavement.
Winter Swans Winter Swans Owen Sheers The clouds had given their all two days of rain and then a break I noticed our hands that had somehow swum the distance between us
Singh Song! Singh Song! Daljit Nagra vee have made luv like vee rowing through Putney from di stool each night I say/Is priceless baby
Climbing My Grandfather Climbing My Grandfather Andrew Waterhouse At his still firm shoulder, I rest for a while in the shade, not looking down, for climbing has its dangers his thick hair (soft and white at the altitude) Knowing/the slow pulse of his good heart
Lord Byron When we two parted/In silence and tears/half broken-hearted/ to sever for years Pale grew thy cheek and cold/Colder thy kiss
