Following on from my previous thoughts. Given that I feel the world needs as much love as it can muster, I offer one of Shakespeare’s love poems that is evocative and seems sincere:
The Passionate Pilgrim
Live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
And all the craggy mountains yields.
There will we sit upon the rocks,
And see the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers, by whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
There will I make thee a bed of roses,
With a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs.
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Then live with me and be my love.
William Shakespeare
Very best wishes – Denny Bradbury
