6 LOVE POEMS BY EMILY DICKINSON FOR YOUR WEDDING VOWS
Emily Dickinson was an American poet who lived from 1830 to 1886. She is now considered one of the most important and influential poets in American literature. Dickinson was born and raised in Amherst, Massachusetts, and spent most of her life there as a reclusive figure. She wrote over 1,800 poems, but only a handful were published during her lifetime.
Dickinson's poetry is characterized by its unique style, which often features unconventional punctuation, capitalization, and syntax. Her themes include nature, death, immortality, and love, and her work is known for its deep emotion and intensity. Despite the fact that Dickinson was not widely recognized during her lifetime, her poetry has since been highly regarded and has influenced generations of poets.
"Why do I love" You, Sir?
Because—
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer—Wherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.
Because He knows—and
Do not You—
And We know not—
Enough for Us
The Wisdom it be so—
The Lightning—never asked an Eye
Wherefore it shut—when He was by—
Because He knows it cannot speak—
And reasons not contained—
—Of Talk—
There be—preferred by Daintier Folk—
The Sunrise—Sire—compelleth Me—
Because He’s Sunrise—and I see—
Therefore—Then—
I love Thee—
2. "A Letter to the World"
A Letter is a joy of Earth –
It is denied the Gods –
3. "Love is anterior to Life"
Love — is anterior to Life —
Posterior — to Death —
Initial of Creation, and
The Exponent of Breath —
4. "My River Runs to Thee"
My River runs to thee—
Blue Sea! Wilt welcome me?
My River wait reply—
Oh Sea—look graciously—
I’ll fetch thee Brooks
From spotted nooks—
Say—Sea—Take Me!
5. "That I did always love"
That I did always love
I bring thee Proof
That till I loved
I never lived—Enough—
That I shall love alway—
I argue thee
That love is life—
And life hath Immortality—
This—dost thou doubt—Sweet—
Then have I
Nothing to show
But Calvary—
6. With A Flower
I hide myself within my flower,
That wearing on your breast,
You, unsuspecting, wear me too —
And angels know the rest.
I hide myself within my flower,
That, fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me
Almost a loneliness.
