As we all know, poetry is not always easy to understand. It sometimes requires someone who really and truly understands what the poet is trying to say.

Some love poems are too long that your heart gets numb at the end. Love quotations are too short to capture the motion of your heart.

short poems about love may be an alternative. Most love short poems are very beautifully and heart-catching because the poets challenged themselves to capture their audience’s feelings instantly through the art of a few words.

A Farewell

Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,
Thy tribute wave delivers:
No more by thee my steps shall be,
Forever and forever.

Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea,
A rivulet then a river;
Nowhere by thee, my steps shall be,
Forever and forever.

But here will sigh thine alder tree,
And here thine aspen shiver;
And here by thee will hum the bee,
Forever and forever.

A thousand suns will stream on thee,
A thousand moons will quiver;
But not by thee my steps shall be,
Forever and forever.

short poems about love by: Lord Alfred Tennyson 19 November 1850 – 6 October 1892

In his poem “A Farewell,” Lord Alfred Tennyson uses short and concise phrases to tell the story of two people who are destined to part.

Tennyson displays the emotions of both parties as he describes the pain, longing, and memories that are felt by each of them.
This poem is about love and how it can be both painful and beautiful at the same time.

If I must needs express my love, I know not how to tell it;”I worship you” – these words so little mean.I would give my heart to have you for my own,For you are everything that is Fair.

I cannot find the words to tellIt only looks up with your eyes,-I love you!Love is not always a feeling but can also be described through actions.

Sonnet

I wish I could remember that first day,
The first hour, the first moment of your meeting me,
If bright or dim the season, it might be
Summer or Winter for aught that I can say;
So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May.
If only I could recollect it, such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
If only now I could recall that touch,
The first touch of hand in hand.

Did one but know!

Easter

I got me flowers to straw Thy way,
I got me boughs off many a tree;
But Thou wast up by break of day,
And brought’st Thy sweets along with Thee.

Yet though my flowers are lost, they say
A heart can never come too late;
Teach it to sing Thy praise this day,
And then this day my life shall date.

George Herbert biography : 

George Herbert was born on 3rd April 1593 in Montgomery, Wales to Richard and Magdalen Newport Herbert. He and his nine siblings were raised solely by their mother after the death of Richard Herbert in 1596.

George Herbert’s family was wealthy, intellectual and had a fondness for the arts. His mother was the patron of John Donne, and other poets. His brother, Edward, was also a poet and a philosopher. He was later knighted and called “Lord Herbert of Chirbury”

George Herbert studied at Westminster School and later on, at the Trinity College in Cambridge. He composed his first sonnets in 1610 and sent these to his mother. In 1620, Herbert was appointed the “Public Orator” of Cambridge. He held that post with distinction until 1628.

George Herbert was ordained an Anglican Priest in the year 1630 and became a rector at Bemerton near Salisbury. He composed his immortal poems exploring and celebrating God’s love, during the time he was a clergyman.

On March 1, 1633, George Herbert passed away. Before he died, he gave Nicholas Ferrar, founder of an Anglican religious community at Little Gidding, the manuscript of The Temple. He asked Ferrar to publish the poems only if these would “turn to the advantage of any dejected poor soul”, else have these poems burned. Little did George Herbert know that his works would have a profound impact on his readers. By 1680, barely 50 years after his death, The Temple had gone through as much as a dozen printings.
