Love poems in English

1. Sonnet 116

by William Shakespeare

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks. 

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved.

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

2. She Walks in Beauty

by Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night.

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright;

Meet in her aspect and her eyes.

3. I loved you first: but afterwards your love...

by Christina Rossetti

I loved you first, but afterwards your love outsoaring mine,

For one is both and both are one in love:

Rich love knows nought of ‘thine that is not mine;

Both have the strength and both the length thereof,

Both of us, of the love which makes us one.
