Famous Love Poems
Romance
Romance, who loves
to nod and sing
With drowsy head
and folded wing
Among the green leaves
as they shake
Far down within
some shadowy lake,
To me a painted paroquet
Hath been - most familiar bird -
Taught me my alphabet to say,
To lisp my very earliest word
While in the wild wood I did lie,
A child - with
a most knowing eye.
Of late, eternal condor years
So shake the
very Heaven on high
With tumult as they thunder by,
I have no time for idle cares
Through gazing
on the unquiet sky;
And when an hour
with calmer wings
Its down upon my spirit flings,
That little time with lyre and rhyme
To while away - forbidden things -
My heart would feel to be a crime
Unless it trembled with the strings.
By Edgar Allan Poe
