faithful lady lovely trusting wish
To every lovely lady bright, I wish a gallant faithful knight; To every faithful lover, too, I wish a trusting lady true.
inspirational-love love-is heaven
For love is heaven and heaven is love.
love war knights
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like young Lochinvar.
love lord stills
For Love will still be lord of all.
love war fairs
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Ellen of Lochinvar.
morning fear love-is
The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
love rivers said
He turn'd his charger as he spake, Upon the river shore, He gave his bridle reins a shake, Said, "Adieu for evermore, my love, And adieu for evermore."
love flower hands
The lover's pleasure, like that of the hunter, is in the chase, and the brightest beauty loses half its merit, as the flower its perfume, when the willing hand can reach it too easily. There must be doubt; there must be difficulty and danger.
true-love men fire
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven: It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes soon as granted fly; It liveth not in fierce desire.
life love-is tears
And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
love life heart
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven. It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, In body and in soul can bind.
vanity and-love philanthropy
A good deal of philanthropy arises in general from mere vanity and love of distinction gilded over to others and to themselves with some show of benevolent sentiment.
first-love snow firsts
From my experience, not one in twenty marries the first love; we build statues of snow and weep to see them melt.
patriotic country-love men
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land.
