"Yes," I answered you last night;
When the viols played their best,
Call me false, or call me free
Yet the sin is on us both
Learn to win a lady's faith
Lead her from the festive boards,
By your truth she shall be true
written by
Ahhhhhhh.... tooo true!
The Lady's Yes
"No," this morning, Sir, I say.
Colours seen by candlelight,
Will not look the same by day.
Lamps above, and laughs below
Love me sounded like a jest,
Fit for Yes or fit for No.
Vow, whatever light may shine,
No man on your face shall see
Any grief for change on mine.
Time to dance is not to woo
Wooer light makes fickle troth
Scorn of me recoils on you.
Nobly, as the thing is high;
Bravely, as for life and death
With a loyal gravity.
Point her to the starry skies,
Guard her, by your truthful words,
Pure from courtship's flatteries.
Ever true, as wives of yore
And her Yes, once said to you,
Shall be Yes for evermore.
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning~
That is one of my most favorite poems of all time!
And she is one of my favorite poets.
I hope you liked it!
And now...
A few favorite quotes on love
Love is when two people who care
for each other get confused.
--Bob Schneider
Love is much nicer to be in than an automobile
accident, a tight girdle, a higher tax bracket or
a holding pattern over Philadelphia.
--Judith Viorst
Getting along with men isn't what is important.
The vital knowledge is how to get along with a man,
one man.
--Phyllis McGinley
