April Love Song

 


I Love You,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
"Love"
Roy Croft

"The End Of The Quest"

 Sir Frank Dicksee

(1921)

The fountains mingle

with the river,

And the rivers,

with the ocean;

The winds of heaven

mix forever,

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world

is single;

All things by a 

law divine

In one another's

being mingle;

Why not I with thine?

See! the mountains

kiss the high heaven,

And the waves

clasp one another;

No sister flower

would be forgiven

If it disdained

its brother;

And the sunlight

clasps the earth,

And the moonbeams

kiss the sea:

What are all

these kisses worth,

If thou kiss not me?

"Love's Philosophy"

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Paolo and Francesca da Rimini,

Dante Gabriel Rossetti 

(1867) 

To know for an hour

you were mine completely-

Mine in body and soul,

my own-

I would bear

unending tortures

sweetly,

With not a murmur

and not a moan.

A lighter sin

or a lesser error

Might change through hope

or fear divine;

But there is no fear,

and hell has no terror,

To change or alter

a love like mine.

"Ad Finem"

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Lady In Red
Vladimir Volegov

Today, dear heart,

but just today,

The sunshine over all,

The roses

crimsoning the air

Along the garden wall!

Then let the dream

and the dreamer die

Whate'er shall be, shall be-

Today will still

be thine and mine

To all eternity.

 "Her Answer"

John Bennett

Clint Walker sings
"Love's Old Sweet Song"


"Just a song at twilight
when the lights are low,
And the flickering shadows
softly come and go;
Though the heart be weary,
sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight
Comes Love's old song,
Comes Love's old 
sweet song."
 " Love's Old Sweet Song"
J.L. Molloy 

Out where the moonlight
silvers the bay,
Out where the stars
all their wonders display,
Come let us sail,
oh, come let us go
Over the deep
where the summer 
winds blow.

Dear to our hearts
though mountains may be,
Here is a night
for the wave and the sea;
Never before was
ocean so fair,
Moonlight and starlight
are calling us there,
Moonlight and starlight
are calling us there."
 "Moonlight and Starlight"
Stephen C. Foster
