JUST
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
Just
because I love you
Tha't the reason why
My soul is full of colour
Like the wings of butterfly
Just
because I love you
Tha't the reason why
My heart's fluttering aspen leaf
When you pass by
LANGSTON
HUGHES
(1902-1962)
TO EDITH
Through the long years
I sought Peace
I found Ectasy
I
found anguish
I found madness
I found loneliness
I found the solitary
That gnews the heart
But Peace
I
did not find.
Now old and near my end
I have known you
I have
found both
Ectasy and Peace
I know rest
After so many lovely years
I know what life and love may be
Now if
I sleep
I shall sleep fulfilled.
BERTRAND RUSSELL
(1872-1970)
WHEN
YOU ARE OLD
When
you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of
the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How
many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim
in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
And
bending down beside the glowing bars
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And
hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
WILLIAM
BUTLER YEATS
(1865-1939)
