Le più belle poesie d’amore

La bellezza delle poesie d’amore è soggettiva e dipende dai gusti personali di ciascun lettore. Tuttavia, alcune poesie d’amore sono universalmente apprezzate per la loro espressione delicata e profonda delle emozioni legate all’amore.

Ecco alcune poesie d’amore che sono spesso considerate tra le più belle:

“How Do I Love Thee?” (Sonnet 43) – 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.”

“Sonnet 18” – William Shakespeare

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.”

“If You Forget Me” – Pablo Neruda

“If you forget me, little one, I will not forget you.”

“Love’s Philosophy” – Percy Bysshe Shelley

“The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of heaven mix forever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single, All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle.”

“I Carry Your Heart with Me” – E.E. Cummings

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling).”

“Annabel Lee” – Edgar Allan Poe

“But we loved with a love that was more than love— I and my Annabel Lee— With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven Coveted her and me.”

“A Red, Red Rose” – Robert Burns

“O my Luve’s like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June: O my Luve’s like the melodie That’s sweetly play’d in tune.”

“To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” – Robert Herrick

“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying.”

“To His Coy Mistress” – Andrew Marvell

“Love you ten years before the Flood, And you should, if you please, refuse Till the conversion of the Jews.”

“When You Are Old” – W.B. Yeats

“How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face.”

Queste poesie offrono una varietà di stili, temi e toni, ma tutte si distinguono per la loro capacità di trasmettere il potere e la bellezza dell’amore in modi unici.
