I have loved Thee with two loves -
a selfish love and a love that is worthy of Thee.
As for the love which is selfish,
Therein I occupy myself with Thee,
to the exclusion of all others.
But in the love which is worthy of Thee,
Thou dost raise the veil that I may see Thee.
Yet is the praise not mine in this or that,
But the praise is to Thee in both that and this.

Go, sit upon the lofty hill,
And turn your eyes around,
Where waving woods and waters wild
Do hymn an autumn sound.
The summer sun is faint on them --
The summer flowers depart --
Sit still -- as all transform'd to stone,
Except your musing heart.
How there you sat in summer-time,
May yet be in your mind;
And how you heard the green woods sing
Beneath the freshening wind.
Though the same wind now blows around,
You would its blast recall;
For every breath that stirs the trees,
Doth cause a leaf to fall.
Oh! like that wind, is all the mirth
That flesh and dust impart:
We cannot bear its visitings,
When change is on the heart.
Gay words and jests may make us smile,
When Sorrow is asleep;
But other things must make us smile,
When Sorrow bids us weep!
The dearest hands that clasp our hands, --
Their presence may be o'er;
The dearest voice that meets our ear,
That tone may come no more!
Youth fades; and then, the joys of youth,
Which once refresh'd our mind,
Shall come -- as, on those sighing woods,
The chilling autumn wind.
Hear not the wind -- view not the woods;
Look out o'er vale and hill-
In spring, the sky encircled them --
The sky is round them still.
Come autumn's scathe -- come winter's cold --
Come change -- and human fate!
Whatever prospect Heaven doth bound,
Can ne'er be desolate.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- I promise you –
I will promise you, yes I promise to
Love you for all your life
Love you every day and night
I will always be there for you
Ill be in your arms, youll be in my heart
Chorus:
Ill love you forever, I Promise You
Well be together, our whole life through
Theres nothin that i, I wouldnt do
With all of my heart, I Promise You
I will take your hand, and Ill understand
Share all your hopes and dreams
Show you what love can mean
Whenever life just gets too much for you
Ill be by your side, to dry the tears you cry
Oh I will always be in your arms
And you will always be the flame
Within my heart
I'll love you forever, I Promise You
Well be together, our whole life
through
A promise
A promise.........
To be in loyalty.
Loyalty to keep you under my lids....
Only your name on always on lips
Loyalty to be always in anthology,
Of yours........of mine.
Loyalty to be in love intemperately,
At only not at 18 but to at 80.
Loyalty to hold you tight,
In fearless arms of mine.
Above above the sky,
At cloud number 9.
Loyalty to be the sky on you,
With only one sparkling star.
Yeah! ! only one.. .no else.
Loyalty to thank almighty for
Those thousands of elaborate moments,
When we coexist......................
