Because I Love You
by Sarah K. Bolton
I cannot bring you wealth," she said;
I cannot bring you fame or place
Among the noted of the race;
But I can love you.
When trials come to test you, sweet,
I can be sunlight to your feet;
My kiss your precious lips shall greet,
Because I love you.
If sickness comes, beside your bed
I will bend low with quiet tread,
And pray God's blessing on your head,
Because I love you.
Only myself, my all, I bring;
But count it, sweet, a precious thing
To give my life an offering,
Because I love you.
-
Call You
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Shall I call you sweetheart?
My love comes from my heart.
Or shall I call you my dear
As you are always near.
Or perhaps
"baby" is what I call you
Because I will always love you so true.
But today I will call you my Valentine
And ask you to be mine!

Valentine Poems For Her
- You And Only You
Poet: J. Hebert, © 2012
Today is a very special day,
Not just for you but also for me.
Today I get to tell you,
How much I love thee.
I'll show you with gifts and flowers,
Maybe an evening out too.
I've never loved someone so special,
As how much I feel I love you.
You're kind, loving and wonderful,
These things that not everyone is.
But that's why I'll love you forever,
You'll always keep me in a quiz.
So today I want to say something,
To you and never another.
Happy Valentine's Day my darling,
There will never be any other.
The poet expresses how difficult it is to put his love into words, but he
also expresses the joy he has found in that person he calls his Valentine.

For A Valentine
Poet: M. E. B.
The blooming rose so fresh and fair
Sheds sweetest perfume on the air;
But 'tis not so sweet to me
As loving language breathed by thee.
The diamond is a gem so bright.
It sparkles with a dazzling light;
But all its worth I would not prize
Like loving glances from thine eyes.
We try by words to faintly tell
What feelings in our hearts do dwell.
But none can speak the joy of mine
In calling thee my "Valentine."
-
Be Mine
Poet: John Imrie
The LOOK of a loving eye
Tells all it knows,
Like blushing rose,
And lives to be lov'd - or die!
The TOUCH of a gentle hand
A tale doth tell
Love knoweth well
And only Love understand.
The TONES of a loving voice,
Like birds in Spring,
Doth sweetly sing,
And maketh the heart rejoice!
The JOY of a loving heart
No tongue can tell:
Its potent spell
Neither time nor distance part!
Sweet words that can never die;
"Wilt thou be mine?"
"I WILL BE THINE!"
Is the maiden's faint reply.
These links must not be broken.
Oh! nol no! no!
But stronger grow;
Love's changeless, deathless token!
-
My Wish
Poet: Byron Pulsifer, ©2021
If I could wish for just one thing
It would be that happiness would bring
A love so strong,
Forever be a lasting bond
I love you more and more each day
I love you more than words can say!

Many smiles we have shared
Always willing, you always care.
Good times we have had many
I wouldn't trade those times for any!

To help and be there, you're always on standby.
I appreciate the support you have given to me
You're the truest person a friend could be.
So on this Valentines day
Let these verses just say
You are a great person
And a true friend.

St. Valentine's Day
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
Young Cupid awakes,
His arrows he takes,
And swiftly they fly from the bow,
And hard is the heart.
That withstands the dart
Of the rosiest rogue I know.
He quietly steals
One's heart for his meals.
And cares not how he is treated;
If he aims in vain
He tries it again.
Anil never was yet defeated.
So here's to the health
Of the god of wealth.
Held within Love's golden meshes;
Which will never rust
While Cupid we trust
With the human heart so precious.
-
Power Of Love
Poet: Bernhart Paul Holst
A word is but a simple sign
Our mental status to reveal,
Or our motives to conceal,
Or the false with truth combine.
Not so with our true affection,
Which flows on with perfect rhyme,
And the heart feels no dejection
At the joyous mating time:
Hate gives out sad, doleful groans,
Love speaks in the sweetest tones.
Love was given us from heaven,
And the heart was taught to love
By the spirit from above,
Earthly ills to soothe and leaven.
Love's the privilege of the mind.
The soul and reason of all life,
The law that governs all mankind
And frees us from the bane of strife:
Hate seeks to darken and distress,
Love governs wisely with kindness.
Love is an Incarnate blessing,
Springing from the inner soul.
Making the heartsick fully whole,
Cheering with its sweet caressing.
Love has power to soothe the madness
Of the stern, unkind and cold,
And to change drear gloom to gladness
As if turning dross to gold:
Hate is stern, cold and decoy.
Love is life and strength and joy.
Oh! for Cupid's bow and arrow,
That I might enflame the drear,
That I might the lonely cheer
And with love displace keen sorrow.
As a star speaks to a star,
As the light springs from the flame,
So affection, near or far.
Reciprocates true love again;
Hate drives every joy away,
Love kindly calls and bids you stay.
-
Love And Reason
Poet: Nixon Waterman
The lily's lips are pure and white without a touch of fire;
The rose's heart is warm and red and sweetened with desire.
In earth's broad fields of deathless bloom the gladdest lives are those
Whose thoughts are as the lily and whose love is like the rose.
-
Valentine's Day
Poet: Charles Fenno Hoffman
The snow yet in the hollow lies;
But, where by shelvy hill 'tis seen.
In myriad rills it trickling flies
To lace the slope with threads of green;
Down in the meadow glancing wings
Flit in the sunshine round a tree.
Where still a frosted apple clings.
Regale for early Chickadee:
And chestnut buds begin to swell.
Where flying squirrels peep to know
If from the tree-top, yet, 'twere well
To sail on leathery wing below —
As gently shy and timorsome.
Still holds she back who should be mine;
Come, Spring, to her coy bosom, come.
And warm it toward her Valentine!
Come, Spring, and with the breeze that calls
The wind-flower by the hill-side rill,
The soft breeze that by orchard wails
First dallies with the dalfodil—
Come lift the tresses from her cheeky
And let me see the blush divine.
That mantling there, those curls would seek
To hide from her true Valentine,
Come, Spring, and with the Red-breast's note,
That tells of bridal tenderness,
Where on the breeze he'll warbling float
Afar his nesting mate to bless —
Come, whisper, 'tis not always Spring!
When birds may mate on every spray —
That April boughs cease blossoming!
With love it is not always May!
Come, touch her heart with thy soft tale,
Of tears within the floweret's cup,
Of fairest things that soonest fail,
Of hopes we vainly garner up —
And while, that gentle heart to melt.
Like mingled wreath, such tale you twine,
Whisper what lasting bliss were felt
In lot shared with her Valentine.
One of the most famous poems for Valentine's day, How Do I Love Thee, was written by the famous poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The verses express love and affection in an inspiring way. A great poem to share with your Valentine!
How Do I Love Thee Poems
We would give anything to bring happiness to the one we love.
But no material thing or no skill can ever bring more than your love!
-
A Valentine
Poet: Clinton Scollard
If only I might sing
Like birds in spring -
Robin, or thrush, or wren,
In grove or glen;
If only I might suit
To harp or lute.
To chime in tender time
Some touching rhyme,
Then I'd hope in vain
Thine ear to gain ;
But now - I halt - I quail -
Ah! must I fail?
So small my skill to plead
My earnest need,
Love - love is all the plea
I bring to thee.
-
How Do I Love Thee
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.

Laden With Love
Poet: Unknown
I send you a book, dear, this season,
For everything else seemed so small,
I had such a volume of wishes
No letter could hold them at all.
I wish you, oh, what don't I wish you
Of everything lovely and sweet!
May sunshine be always around you
And pleasant the paths of your feet.
These little winged messengers, flitting
The leaves of my book through and through,
Are laden with love and remembrance
And greetings all tender and true;
Turn over my volume again, dear,
And read 'twixt the lines, for you may,
Whatever is brightest and fairest,
That same do I wish you to-day.
Words that were written from the heart expressing love for that special person
-
I Love You Dear
Poet Unknown
Because I love you, dear,-
Because my heart sings all day long,
A song of love, a new sweet song,
I find I love the whole world more.
Because I love you, dear, -
I love the little ones I pass,
And see, in each dear lad and lass
The flower of love like ours, dear heart.
Because I love you, dear, -
I'm tenderer than I have ever been,
The thought of you comes in between
Me and an impulse less than true.
Because I love you, dear, -
Ah! what in all the world is there
I cannot suffer, cannot dare?
Because you're all the world to me.

Bound By Love
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
On this Valentine's Day, a message to convey,
To my family, Christian hearts never sway.
Bound by love so strong, through every season,
Christian faith anchors, with roots of reason.
In this sacred bond, love's grace is found,
A love that echoes harmoniously all around.
Through joy and sorrow, through highs and lows,
Christian love in the family, like a river, forever flows.
