Poetry for Your Valentine’s Tea Time

Five Little Hearts
Unknown

Five little hearts, all in a row.
The first one said, “I love you so!”
The second one said, “Will you be my Valentine?”
The third one said, “I will, if you’ll be mine!”
The fourth one said, “I’ll always be your friend!”
The fifth one said, “We’ll all be friends until the very end!”

Sonnets from the Portuguese 43
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
