Pieces of Great Poetry

Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is Infinite, undying -

One of you is lying.

And here is my heart which beats only for you.

and you were to walk near my grave,
from the very depths of the earth
I would hear your footsteps.

If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If every wife was happy with a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.

Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.

Though they go mad they shall be sane.
Though they sink through the sea, they shall rise again.
Though lovers be lost, love shall not,
And death shall have no dominion.

Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.
