Love poems

Hi all! Had we but world enough and time, we could wait 'til next week to gather our love poems. But for those of you in a hurry to start your collections, let's use this space to post either favorite poems or at the least some authors and titles so we can track them down on our own. I'll start with one of my favorites:

"The Wild Rose" ~ Wendell Berry

Sometimes hidden from me
in daily custom and in trust,
so that I live by you unaware
as by the beating of my heart,

suddenly you flare in my sight,
a wild rose blooming at the edge
of thicket, grace and light
where yesterday was only a shade,

and once more I am blessed, choosing
again what I chose before.
