Classic Love Poetry

William Shakespeare

"If music be the food of love, play on" was one of Shakespeare's finest lines. If music is food, then poetry is the wine. In this volume of classic love poetry, the flavoured capture of words and rhythms makes us think more carefully of words and their value to us. They also surprise us with their structure and meaning, layering in thoughts and emotions that we might otherwise shy away from. Poems are wonderful ways to express what we feel for a very special someone. Narrated by Stella Gonet , David Shaw-Parker , Ghizela Rowe , Tim Graham , Alex Jennings. 01 - Classic Love Poetry - An Introduction 02 - My True Love Hath My Heart - Sir Phillip Sidney 03 - One Day I Wrote Her Name Upon The Strand - Edmund Spenser 04 - The Passionate Shepherd To His Love - Christopher Marlowe 05 - Sonnet 18 - William Shakespeare 06 - Sonnet 116 - William Shakespeare 07 - The Good Morrow - John Donne 08 - To Celia - Ben Jonson 09 - Go Lovely Rose - Edmund Waller 10 - To His Coy Mistress - Andrew Marvell 12 - Stella's Birthday - Jonathan Swift 13 - How Sweet I Roam'd From Field To Field - William Blake 14 - A Red Red Robin - Robert Burns 15 - Surprised By Joy Impatient As The Wind - Wiliam Wordsworth 16 - As The Bell Clinks - Rudyard Kipling 17 - The Kiss - Charlotte Dacre 18 - She Walks In Beauty - Lord Byron 19 - When We Two Parted - Lord Byron 20 - Love's Philosophy - Percy Bysshe Shelley 21 - First Love - John Clare 22 - Bright Star - John Keats 23 - Mummia - Rupert Brooke 24 - How Do I Love Thee - Elizabeth Barrett Browning 25 - If Thou Must Love Me Let It Be For Nought - Elizabeth Barrett Browning 26 - The Owl And The Pussy Cat - Edward Lear 27 - The Last Ride Together - Robert Browning 28 - Fatima - Alfred Lord Tennyson 29 - Remembrance - Emily Jane Bronte 30 - Longing - Matthew Arnold 31 - Song - Rupert Brooke 32 - A Birthday - Christina Rossetti 33 - Remember - Christina Rossetti 34 - A Broken Appointment - Thomas Hardy 35 - When You Are Old - WB Yeats 36 - He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven - WB Yeats 37 - No One So Much As You - Edward Thomas 38 - Time And Absence - John Donne 39 - Gloire De Dijon - DH Lawrence 40 - The Hill - Rupert Brooke 41 - Greater Love - Wilfred Owen Author - William Shakespeare.
