Love

The Poetry of Shakespeare

by George Meredith 1828–1909

From Poems — Volume 1

Love

PICTURE some Isle smiling green ’mid the white-foaming ocean;—
Full of old woods, leafy wisdoms, and frolicsome fays;
Passions and pageants; sweet love singing bird-like above it;
Life in all shapes, aims, and fates, is there warm’d by one great
human heart.
