Short Romantic Love Poems and Quotes

Here is part of the poem "Beauty's a Flower" by Moira O'Neill, edited by Louis Untermeyer, ed. and published in Modern British Poetry in 1920.

Youth's for an hour,
Beauty's a flower,
But love is the jewel that wins the world.

Here is something by Saint-Exupery:

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

Another love quote from Alexander Pope:

Romantic Things to Say in a Letter

Feeling a little embarrassed about revealing your emotions in the written form? Why not get inspired from what Napoleon Bonaparte wrote to Josephine De Beauharnais in one of his love letters:

I wake filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in turmoi. Sweet, incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart!

Romantic Poetry from Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) wrote this "Part Three: Love XXXVII" in her Complete Poems, which was published in 1924.

Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.

Or another poem from Emily Dickinson "Part Five: The Single Hound CXII."

That Love is all there is,
Is all we know of Love;
It is enough, the freight should be
Proportioned to the groove.
