Love Poems By Famous Poets
A Lover's Envy

Famous Love Poems Part 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

 

I envy every flower that blows

Along the meadow where she goes,

And every bird that sings to her,

And every breeze that brings to her

The fragrance of the rose.

 

I envy every poet's rhyme

That moves her heart at eventime,

And every tree that wears for her

Its brightest bloom, and bears for her

The fruitage of its prime.

 

I envy every Southern night

That paves her path with moonbeams white,

And silvers all the leaves for her,

And in their shadow weaves for her

A dream of dear delight.

 

I envy none whose love requires

Of her a gift, a task that tires:

I only long to live to her,

I only ask to give to her

All that her heart desires.

 

Henry Van Dyke
