Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Ah! To be in love!

Here’s a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (October 21, 1772 – July 25, 1834), English poet, literary critic, philosopher, and theologian who was a co-founder of the Romantic Movement in England.

The Presence of Love

And in Life's noisiest hour,
There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee,
The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy.
______________________
You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within ;
And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
Thro' all my Being, thro' my pulses beat ;
You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light,
Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve
On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.
And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,
How oft ! I bless the Lot, that made me love you.
--Samuel Taylor Coleridge
