About this ebook

Love is all around us. Whether it is a profound love for a higher being, a dedicated love to a spouse or partner, a tender love for children and family members, or a loyal love for friends, we all share in the splendors of love. We can feel a love for nature on witnessing a spectacular sunrise or a tear-inducing sunset. We can be stunned by love when we hold a newborn child in our arms.

These 80 love poems span the centuries, from the earliest in 43 b.c.to the latest poems written only a few decades ago. Love is universal. All humans have felt love, have thrilled in it, have agonized in it, and have been moved by its power. By reading the love poetry from century to century, we realize just how universal this feeling is, and how powerful it can be.

Love poetry can be perfect for love letters, for meditation, for wedding ceremonies, for reading on a sunny afternoon beneath a willow tree.

I'm always eager to hear of new love poems to add to this collection. If you have a favorite poet, please let me know!

Enjoy this treasury of love poems!

I love writing in a variety of genres. I currently have over 300 books published in all lengths from full 500+ page novels down to short stories. I love writing series. Some are with unconnected characters, like the 14 full-length medieval novels with a sword being passed from heroine to heroine. Some have connected characters, like the 31 mini-mysteries featuring a detective in Salem, Massachusetts. All of my books are written "clean" with no explicit intimacy, no harsh language, and no explicit violence. All are suitable for teens and up.For a full listing of my books please visit:http://www.lisashea.com/lisabase/writing/gettingyourbookpublished/lisalibrary.html

    Romantic Love Poems - Lisa Shea

    Introduction

    Love is all around us. Whether it is a profound love for a higher being, a dedicated love to a spouse or partner, a tender love for children and family members, or a loyal love for friends, we all share in the splendors of love. We can feel a love for nature on witnessing a spectacular sunrise or a tear-inducing sunset. We can be stunned by love when we hold a newborn child in our arms.

    These eighty love poems span the centuries, from the earliest in 43 b.c.to the latest poems written only a few decades ago. Love is universal. All humans have felt love, have thrilled in it, have agonized in it, and have been moved by its power. By reading the love poetry from century to century, we realize just how universal this feeling is, and how powerful it can be.

    Love poetry can be perfect for love letters, for meditation, for wedding ceremonies, for reading on a sunny afternoon beneath a willow tree.

    A Note about The Poems

    First, enormous kudos go to my sister, Jenn, who adores poetry and who collected her favorite love poems as a basis for me to work from. I am greatly in debt to her taste and appreciation of the masters.

    Second, it is clear that many of the poets covered here are English poets. That is because the primary language I read is English. For whatever reason, few poems from Russian, Egypt, Spain, Japan, or other locations get translated into English for English-language readers to appreciate and enjoy.

    I would be thrilled to include more non-English poems in this anthology, if copyright-free translations become available. If readers who can interpret other languages want to suggest translations that I could use, I would be more than happy to share those words with the world!

    The poems are arranged by the date of birth of the poet.

    A Suggestion to Poets

    Many people read romantic poems to gain inspiration for their own efforts. Here are a few suggestions we can draw from this collection of love poems.

    Travel

    A key message we get from poet after poet is that they traveled to a variety of exotic locations. They took in the inspirations of landscapes far different from their own, from customs and languages that were unfamiliar. The more they drew in this range of experiences, the more rich their poetry grew.

    Relationships

    Poets also drew in inspiration from a variety of characters. They did not just spend time with people in their own small neighborhood. They talked with the high and the low, with people of a variety of backgrounds. From each new person they gained fresh insight on the world.

    Experiences

    Many of the poets were engaged in a variety of fields over their lifetime. They tried jewelry making, then they examined what it was to be a vicar. They enjoyed music and they also tried a hand at painting. The more ways you express your creative talents, the more you stretch your brain and become open to new experiences.

    Anonymous

    It seems fitting to begin this collection with a poem that we don’t know who wrote it – and we don’t know when it was written – but we can feel its power even down through the centuries.

    Although I conquer all the earth,

    Yet for me there is only one city.

    In that city there is for me
