Marriage Morning
Romantic Love Poems by
Lord Alfred Tennyson
Light, so low upon earth,
You send a flash to the sun.
Here is the golden close of love,
All my wooing is done.
Oh, the woods and the meadows,
Woods where we hid from the wet,
Stiles where we stay'd to be kind,
Meadows in which we met!
Light, so low in the vale
You flash and lighten afar,
For this is the golden morning of love,
And you are his morning star.
Flash, I am coming, I come,
By meadow and stile and wood,
Oh, lighten into my eyes and heart,
Into my heart and my blood!
Heart, are you great enough
For a love that never tires?
O heart, are you great enough for love?
I have heard of thorns and briers.
Over the thorns and briers,
Over the meadows and stiles,
Over the world to the end of it
Flash for a million miles.
- Love Poem by Lord Alfred Tennyson
By blood a king, in heart a clown.
- Quote by Alfred Lord Tennyson
My strength has the strength of
ten because my heart is pure.
- Quote by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Shape your heart to front the hour,
but dream not that the hours will last.
- Quote by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Marriage resembles a pair of shears,
so joined that they cannot be separated;
often moving in opposite directions,
yet always punishing anyone
who comes between them.
- Quote by Sydney Smith
