I gaze into the heart, lowly it may be,
Thought the words be higher still.
For the heart is all the substance,
The speech an accident.
How many phrases will you speak,
Too many for me.
How much burning, burning will you feel,
Be friendly with the fire, enough for me.
Light up the fire of love inside,
And blaze the thoughts away.

Nothing Gold Can Stay – Poem by Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold,Her hardest hue to hold.Her early leaf’s a flower;But only so an hour.Then leaf subsides to leaf,So Eden sank to grief,So dawn goes down to dayNothing gold can stay.
Two Look At Two – Poem by Robert Frost
Love and forgetting might have carried themA little further up the mountain sideWith night so near, but not much further up.They must have halted soon in any caseWith thoughts of a path back, how rough it wasWith rock and washout, and unsafe in darkness;When they were halted by a tumbled wallWith barbed-wire binding. They stood…
Dirge by William Shakespeare

Music to hear, why hear’st thou music sadly?Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy.Why lov’st thou that which thou receiv’st not gladly,Or else receiv’st with pleasure thine annoy?If the true concord of well-tunèd sounds,By unions married, do offend thine ear,They do but sweetly chide thee, who confoundsIn singleness the parts that thou shouldst…
Sonnet 36: Let Me Confess That We Two Must Be Twain by William Shakespeare
Let me confess that we two must be twain,Although our undivided loves are one;So shall those blots that do with me remain,Without thy help, by me be borne alone.In our two loves there is but one respect,Though in our lives a separable spite,Which, though it alter not love’s sole effect,Yet doth it steal sweet hours…
Ode 1620
There is a passion in methat doesn’t long for anythingfrom another human being.I was given something else,a cap to wear in both worlds.It fell off. No matter.One morning I went to a place beyond dawn.A source of sweetness that flowsand is never less.I have been shown a beautythat would confuse both worlds,but I won’t cause…
