Next on our list of the most beautiful poems about love is ‘To Be in Love’ by Gwendolyn Brooks. In ‘Love and Friendship’, Emily Brontë compares romantic love to a rose - stunning but short-lived - and friendship to a holly tree which can endure all seasons. Love doesn’t have to be confined to romance - love between friends can be just as strong and beautiful. "Love and Friendship" by Emily Brontë Love is like the wild rose-briar, Friendship is like the holly-tree - The olly is dark when the rose-briar blooms But which will bloom more constantly? Breton was the French founder of the surrealist movement, which aimed to blur the lines between dreams and reality in art - explaining the rather whimsical nature of this beautiful love poem. ‘Always For The First Time’ is André Breton’s ode to a woman he has not met, but is willing to wait every day for. "Always For The First Time" by André Breton There is a silk ladder unrolled across the ivy There is That leaning over the precipice Of the hopeless fusion of your presence and absence I have found the secret Of loving you Always for the first time Then while we live, in love let’s so persever, That when we live no more, we may live ever.Īnne Bradstreet’s Puritan belief that marriage is a gift from God comes across strongly in ‘To My Dear and Loving Husband.’ Reading it through a modern lens, it’s easy to start the poem feeling a little skeptical however, Bradstreet’s genuine gratitude and dedication to her husband soon manifests to make it a deeply moving assertion of true love. "To My Dear and Loving Husband" by Anne Bradstreet Thy love is such I can no way repay The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. Auden’s ‘The More Loving One’ demonstrates this - though ultimately he would rather be ‘the more loving one’ himself, Auden perfectly encapsulates the pain of loss when love ends. Whilst poems about heartbreak might not be as uplifting as those about the joys of love, they can be equally as beautiful and meaningful. Auden Were all stars to disappear or die, I should learn to look at an empty sky And feel its total dark sublime, Though this might take me a little time. Margaret Atwood unflinchingly lays out some of these in her poem ‘Variations on the Word Love’. One of the most fascinating things about love is that it can come in so many different forms - platonic, passionate, or even patronizing. "Variations on the Word Love" by Margaret Atwood It is this candor which makes the poem so beautiful. For context, Atwood here admits to the challenges of marriage and acknowledges the work needed to overcome them. Where painfully and with wonder at having survived even this farīest known for her alarmingly realistic dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood demonstrates similar strengths in this poem: ‘Habitation’ is strikingly real. "Habitation" by Margaret Atwood at the back where we squat outside, eating popcorn The language is simple yet evocative, putting a strong metaphor in the reader’s mind and facilitating a deeper understanding of Arnold’s feelings.
