from A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns (1759 - 1796)

My love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June:
My love is like the melody
That's sweetly played in tune.  (complete poem)

from A Birthday by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)

My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.  (complete poem)

from Daffodils  by William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.  (complete poem)
