Love poemsLove poems She walks in beauty,like
the night Of cloudless climes and
starry skies, And all that’s best of dark
and bright, Meet in the aspect and
her eyes; Thus mellow’d to that
tender light Which heaven and gaudy
day denies Lord Byron
What’s in a name? That’s which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not called Romeo,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title.Romeo, deny your name;
And for your name,which is no part of you,
Take all myself. W. Shakespare
