di W. B. Yeats (Autore)

The Copyright Group, 2022

Honeymoons are a relatively modern concept in the western world, dating from the 19th Century and have since become a multi-billion dollar industry turning the beginning of wedded bliss into a smorgsboard of ‘must have this’ and ‘must do that’. However, celebrating a marriage is something we perhaps all feel should be a more intimate occasion. After all this part of the journey is possibly unique as well as universal and timeless. Sex, possibly for the first time, is now an expression of the wedded state, cementing and reframing the relationship as a new couple. Within the lines of this volume are perfect poems for those on such a journey, whether it a romantic holiday setting or relaxed at home as our classic poets revel in the sensual, the sexy and above all the love for that very special chosen person in our lives. Our verse includes those from Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Rossetti, W B Yeats, Khalil Gibran, Ella Wheeler Wilcox and many more. 01 - Poetry for Honeymooners - An Introduction 02 - He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven by W B Yeats 03 - A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns 04 - Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal from The Princess by Alfred Lord Tennyson 05 - I Love You by Ella Wheeler Wilcox 06 - Wild Nights, Wild Nights by Emily Dickinson 07 - Love and Sleep by Algernon Charles Swinburne 08 - Nuptial Sleep by Dante Gabriel Rossetti 09 - The Sunne Rising by John Donne 10 - Song of the Flower by Khalil Gibran 11 - My Delight and Your Delight by Robert Seymour Bridges 12 - The Passionate Shepherd to His Love by Christopher Marlowe 13 - The Willing Mistress by Aphra Behn 14 - A Nuptial Verse to Mistress Elizabeth Lee, Now Lady Tracy by Robert Herrick 15 - The Bride by Laurence Hope aka Violet Nicholson 02 - Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley 17 - Her Breast is Fit For Pearls by Emily Dickinson 18 - Invitation to Love by Paul Laurence Dunbar 19 - The Flea by John Donne 20 - To Celia by Ben Jonson 21 - She Lay Naked All in Bed - Anonymous 22 - Delight in Disorder by Robert Herrick 23 - Amores - Book I Elegy V - Corinna in an Afternoon by Ovid 24 - For the Courtesan Ch'ing Lin Wu Zao 25 - The Kiss by Charlotte Dacre 26 - That Kiss By Daniel Sheehan 27 - The First Kiss Of Love by Lord Byron 28 - First Love by John Clare 29 - Longing by Matthew Arnold 30 - Give All To Love by Ralph Waldo Emerson 31 - Sonnet IV - Lovesight by Dante Gabriel Rossetti 32 - Love is Enough by William Morris 33 - Lips and Eyes by Thomas Carew 34 - She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron 35 - When I Too Long Have Looked Upon Your Face by Edna St Vincent Millay 36 - Go Lovely Rose by Edmund Waller 37 - Sonnet 18 - Shall I Compare Thee to a Summers Day by William Shakespeare 38 - Beauty That is Never Old by James Weldon Johnson 39 - Bright Star by John Keats 40 - Falling Stars by Rainer Maria Rilke 41 - A Bridal Song by John Ford 42 - Wedded by Isaac Rosenberg 43 - To a Husband by Anne Kingsmill Finch 44 - On Marriage by Khalil Gibran 45
