Short poems in English. What can help

As you know, foreign languages ​​are easiest to learn in childhood. The rhymes we have collected in English for children will be a good helper in this process.

And do not worry if you yourself are not friends with foreign words. You can read these verses with your baby without any problems.

Each verse in English is written with a translation. However, the translation is not exact, as they say word for word, but approximate. This is done in order to keep the rhyme.

In brackets it is written in Russian letters how to pronounce certain words correctly. Thanks to this, any adult, even if he himself does not know a foreign language, will be able to pronounce all the words more or less correctly without any problems.

By the way, my six-year-old nephew is delighted with teaching English on the computer. You can also try to work with children, this is a very good investment in the future of the child. Now without this it is difficult to get a good job in life) To register for the classes I am talking about, follow this link.

The reasons for learning poetry in English are the same as when using songs: any authentic material allows you to hear how “real English” sounds, not adapted for foreigners.

Why learn poetry in English

Memory and pronunciation training are far from all the advantages of English-language poetry as an element of learning. Working with poetry gives you many opportunities to personalize your lessons: you can write an essay based on a poem you like, discuss poetry in English with friends or classmates, practice the artistic style of writing and get to know the culture of English-speaking countries better. Poems will dilute boring classes and bring a touch of aesthetics to the learning process.

How to teach poetry

  1. Choose a poem. The first thing you should focus on is your level of language proficiency. If you are at the beginning of your English learning journey, long classical poems will be beyond your power, as they contain a lot of obsolete words and complex speech patterns. Therefore, choose short rhymes with short lines. However, it is important to maintain a balance here, because very simple nursery rhymes will not be interesting to learn and read. Stop at poems that you can get the gist of or that have a Russian translation.

  2. Write or print the selected poem on a piece of paper and cut it line by line to make a kind of puzzle. Shuffle all the lines and try to put them in the correct sequence. This will help you learn the poem and memorize new vocabulary along the way.

  3. Read English poems aloud to develop correct pronunciation and learn to speak without unnecessary pauses.

  4. Record on a tape recorder how you read the poem with expression. Listen to your own voice, try to find mistakes in pronunciation and correct them. Repeat this until you can read the poem perfectly.

  5. Write your own poem. Choose a simple topic and try to make at least a couple of rhyming quatrains. Do not chase deep meaning, your task is to learn how to choose a rhyme for English words. To make it more interesting, write a playful epigram to your friend.

  6. Choose a poem with dialogue and act it out as a small performance with friends or family. Let everyone learn a small part and try to play it like in the theater. Excerpts from the classic plays of Shakespeare are suitable for this purpose.

A Farewell
My fairest child, I have no song to give you;
No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray;
Yet, ere we part, one lesson I can leave you
For every day
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
Do noble things, don't dream them all day long:
And so make life, death, and that vast forever
One grand, sweet song.

Charles Kingsley

Parting
My wonderful child, I don't have a song to give you;
There is no joke to dispel the dullness and boredom of the sky;
But before we part, one lesson I can leave you
On every day.
Be kind, dear, and let the other be smart;
Do noble deeds, don't dream about them:
And thus make life, death, and all that comes after,
One big, beautiful song.

Charles Kingsley

5 difficult poems

Damœtas
In law an infant, and in years a boy,
In mind a slave to every vicious joy;
From every sense of shame and virtue wean'd,
In lies an adept, in deceit a fiend;
Vers'd in hypocrisy, while yet a child;
Fickle as wind, of inclinations wild;
Woman his dupe, his heedless friend a tool;
Old in the world, though scarcely broke from school;
Damœtas ran through all the maze of sin,
And found the goal, when others just begin:
Ev'n still conflicting passions shake his soul,
And bid him drain the dregs of Pleasure's bowl;
But, pall'd with vice, he breaks his former chain,
And what was once his bliss appears his bane.

Lord Byron

Damet
Disenfranchised, like a child, and a boy in years,
Soul devoted to murderous passions,
Knowing no shame, not believing in virtue,
Deception demon and lies sympathetic witness,
Artful hypocrite from the earliest days,
Changeable, like a whirlwind on the liberties of the fields,
Deceiver of modest maidens, careless friends,
From school years, a connoisseur of the conditions of false light, -
Damet has tasted the path of vice to the end
And before the rest reached his crown.
But passions, still tormenting the heart, domineeringly
They tell him to eat the bastards of the passionate cup;
Permeated with lust, he breaks chain after chain
And in the cup of former bliss he drinks his death.

Lord Byron

The heart of a song
Dear love, let this my song fly to you:
Perchance forget it came from me.
It shall not vex you, shall not woo you;
But in your breast lie quietly.
Only beware, when once it tarries
I cannot coax it from you, then.
This little song my whole heart carries,
And ne'er will bear it back again.
For if its silent passion grieve you,
My heart would then grow too heavy;-
And it can never, never leave you,
If joy of yours must go!

George Parsons Lathrop

The heart of the song
My love! Let this song come to you
You will probably forget that she is my creation ...
I do not ask for love and affectionate speeches in return,
I only know that your heart will become a little warmer.
My love won't stay with you forever
Evaporate, turn into a gray haze on a rainy day ...
With this song I wanted to tell about the soul,
I do not expect your reciprocity at all, my dear ...
Tell me, please, to throw off a heavy stone from my soul,
Tell me, I pray, do I offend with submissive quiet passion?
You are glad - and a furious flame blazes in your heart!
It will be with you on a hot day, and on a rainy day ...

George Parsons Lasrop

Nurse's Song
When voices of children are heard on the green,
And laughing is heard on the hill,
My heart is at rest within my breast,
And everything else is still.

'Then come home, my children, the sun is gone down,
And the dews of night arise;
Come, come, leave off play, and let us go,
Till the morning appears in the skies.’

'No, no, let us play, for it is yet a day,
And we cannot go to sleep;
Besides, in the sky the little birds fly,
And the hills are all covered with sheep.'

'Well, well, go and play till the light fades away,
And then go home to bed.'
The little ones jumped and shouted and laughed
And all the hills echoed.

William Blake

evening song
Echoes of the game come from the mountain
The darkening meadow is announced.
After a hard day, I have no worries.
Quiet in the heart, and quiet around.

“Children, children, go home!” The day goes out behind the mountain,
Night dew appears.
Take a walk and sleep. We'll go out again tomorrow
Only a beam will light up the sky.

“No, oh no, not now! The bright day has not faded.
And we are happy and fun.
We won’t fall asleep anyway - the birds are flying around,
And the herds roam the hills.

- Okay, let's wait, but with the last beam
We will retire to rest. —
Again the stomp and din through the forests, through the meadows,
And the hills answer in the distance.

William Blake

Hello my beloved readers.

Do you know what was the first thing my daughter learned in English? It was poem for the night Every night before going to bed, she says goodbye to all her toys, and then, already climbing into bed, reads a poem where she says in rhyme "good night" to her parents and those toys with which she sleeps. Unbelievable, but it gives her great pleasure!

So I decided to help you with today by showing you the most interesting and useful way that I know. I have interesting rhymes for children in English for you.

Ready to learn how to teach them with maximum efficiency?

  • Look for poems with translation . These are those who study the language for several years in a row, do not need translation. They are already accustomed to thinking in foreign vocabulary. But your kids at the initial stage need to understand what they are learning. Therefore, look for poems with translations to make the learning process much easier.
  • Learn and teach correct pronunciation. Even if your baby does not have obvious problems with pronunciation, you still need to listen to how to pronounce words correctly. Pay close attention to what he says. There is no need for something wrong to be driven into his head, which then will have to be long and hard to get rid of. But he tried so hard and taught just like that!
  • Interest is above all. Like a prayer I repeat this every day: the child should be interested! Learn everything in a playful way. For example, if you are studying animal rhymes, then find pictures of the animals mentioned and have your child show them as they read. Or depicts an animal. Anything - if only it aroused his interest and sparkle in his eyes!
  • Never force. This paragraph is a continuation of the previous one, but still ... never force or torture your children. If the child does not like something - look for another method. He's naughty for a reason. I can tell you from my own experience of working with children: if you find the right approach and teaching method (and to them) - everyone will like English.

And now let's move closer to the topic - our poems! By the way, I give a literal translation, not a literary one, so that the correspondence of the translated words in Russian and English is clearer. The voice acting of each rhyme under it.

So, with the help of such a great method, it is very easy for children to memorize numbers. See for yourself:

One two,
I love you.
Three four,
Touch the floor.
Five six,
We mix and mix.
Seven eight,
This is great.
Nine ten,
Let's play again!

To make it much more interesting to learn this verse, come up with a movement for each word: let the baby show numbers on his fingers, on the phrase "I love you"- shows a heart, etc.

Poems about the family will help you quickly master the vocabulary of relatives:

Good night mom
Good night dad
Kiss your little son.
Good night sister
Good night brother
Good night everybody!

It is very easy to learn the names of the seasons in this way. And if you combine vocabulary about autumn and words on the topic of color, then you can kill 2 birds with one stone!

Autumn is yellow
Winter is white
Spring is green
Summer is bright!


Autumn leaves fall down
I'm falling down, falling down
Autumn leaves fall down
Yellow, red, orange and brown!

No sunshine, lots of rain
No warm days, snow again!
No bugs, no bees
No leaves on the trees.
you must remember
It's November!

Time your training around the appropriate holidays. For example, learn something about the New Year just before the holiday. Say that in order to receive a gift from Santa Claus on New Year's Eve, you will need to tell a rhyme. Believe me, you will not even notice how quickly your "child" will run to learn a rhyme.

On the topic of holidays, I have prepared for you poems about Christmas and New Year:

One two Three,
It's a Christmas tree!
Three two one,
Christmas is fun!

Christmas,
Time for fun
Let's go outside and play right now!

If your child loves to listen (and tell!) not only poems, but also much more, then this sound english course exactly for you! Based on the positive reviews of many caring mothers, I can safely recommend it to you too (the rhyme turned out :)). With it, your kids can easily memorize new words and at the same time will do it with pleasure.

Well, let's still digress from thematic verses and try something else.

I see green, I see yellow!.
I see this funny boy.
I see white, I see black.
I see this and this and that!
I see pink. I see brown.
I get up and sit down.
I see red, I see blue.
I see you, you and you.

To learn body parts, play a game using the following verse. Let the kid name the word and show what this word means on himself.

Touch your eyes
Touch your nose
Touch your mouth
Touch your socks
Touch your ears
Touch your hair
Touch your teeth
Sit on a chair...

Well, are you already burning with the desire to start working with your kids?
I really hope that this tutorial will help you speed up the learning process. And also I will be glad if you share the results and your experience in the comments.

And so that you don’t miss anything interesting, I created a subscription to English sweets. Thus, you will be able to keep abreast of the latest news from the world of learning this beautiful language.

In contact with

The English language is very melodic and pleasant to the ear, and therefore learning it can easily be called an exciting activity. But if you are a beginner, and it is still a very, very long time to reach the pinnacle of mastery, over time, learning English may cease to bring joy, and lessons - or rather, self-study will become less interesting and productive. To prevent this risk, there is an effective way, which in all respects is suitable for both children and adults. It's about learning English through poetry in English - that's where the really diverse vocabulary comes in!

Studying poetry in English is not easy, but at the same time it has several advantages:

  • You will immediately learn a lot of new words, which, thanks to the presence of rhyme, are not difficult to memorize and master;
  • You see how sentences are formed - knowing each word separately will help less in life than the ability to express a thought in English words;
  • You get acquainted with creativity in English - in particular, the work of famous American and British poets, who gave the world poems in english that have become widely known.

Poems of poets

If you decide to look for poems in English to learn it faster, you will most likely look for them on the Internet or in a library. In both cases, it is the poems of famous poets that are the first thing that comes to your hand.

Through the use of beautiful poems in English in teaching, it turns out that it is most effective to replenish the literary stock, and at the same time remember for yourself the existing grammatical rules and constructions. Even if the verse does not differ in special sizes, it will be of great service in learning the language, and the learning process itself will bring absolute pleasure.

Nevertheless, when starting to study English poetry, be sure to understand an important point for yourself - it will be easier for an adult to learn poetry in English than for a child. The main reason for this is more developed intellectual abilities and memory. Therefore, if a small child is engaged in English lessons, you should not try to learn the language through the poems of famous poets. For this case, short children's poems, which we will discuss later in the article, will be effective.

As for the poems that are the creation of real British poets, you can find some nuances in them. First, remember that poetry is predominantly an artistic style, and mastering it will be useful for scientific purposes. If you are learning a language for everyday conversational use, use this option, but at the same time think about more suitable ones.

Another nuance that is important to know about when taking on English poetry is that authors can use abbreviations in poems, so be prepared for the fact that you will not immediately understand every word, as well as the meaning of individual sentences.

To be convinced of the beauty of English poetry, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the work of several poets known for their poems. We offer their poems in English with translation try to check for yourself whether you understand the meaning of the poem correctly.

Lord Byron's poem

Byron is one of the most popular representatives of English poetry. The famous "Sun of the Sleepless" is a perfect example of melodic poetry with deep meaning. The poem was written at the end of 1814, and after that it was completely set to music.

Sun of the Sleepless!

Sun of the sleepless! melancholy star!

(Sleepless sun, sad star)

Whose tearful beam glows tremulously far!

(How tearfully your beam always flickers),

That show's the darkness thou canst not dispel,

(How the darkness is even darker with him),

How like art thou to joy remember'd well!

(How it resembles the joy of former days)!

So gleams the past, the light of other days,

(So ​​the past shines on us in the night of life)

which shines, but warms not with its powerless rays;

(But powerless rays do not warm us),

A nightbeam Sorrow watcheth to behold,

(The star of the past is so visible to me in grief),

Distinct, but distant - clear - but, oh how cold!

(Visible, but far away - bright, but cold)!

English poetry by Charlotte Brontë

His own style and special melody can be traced in the work of Charlotte Brontë. The British novelist poet is often found today in English textbooks, because her poems are the best suited for mastering foreign vocabulary. Try to read the following poem aloud and figure out what its sentences are about:

LIFE, believe, is not a dream

(Believe that life is not a dream game)

So dark as sages say;

(Not fairy tales dark forest).

Oft a little morning rain

(How often light rain in the morning)

Foretells a pleasant day.

(He promises us a day of miracles)!

Sometimes there are clouds of glow

(Let the sky look gloomy) -

But these are transient all;

(The clouds will rush);

If the shower will make the roses bloom,

(And a shower of roses will revive)

Why lament its fall?

(withered slightly).

Rapidly, merrily,

(Crazy, irrevocable)

Life's sunny hours fly by

(The days of life are leaving);

Gratefully, cheerily,

(Cheerful, pleasant),

Enjoy them as they fly!

(They will leave us).

What though death at times steps in

(So ​​what if death is always)

And calls our best away?

(Goes after life)?

What though sorrow seems to win

(After all, trouble seems terrible),

O'er hope, a heavy sway?

(When there is no hope)

Yet hope again elastic springs,

(Hope in spite of difficulties)

Unconquered, though she fell;

(We are held by every moment);

Still buoyant are her golden wings,

(She is the wing of calm)

Still strong to bear us well.

(And a spring of fresh strength).

Manfully, fearlessly

(Although many and difficult)

The day of trial bear,

(Obstacles will meet here),

For gloriously, victoriously,

(But nice and wonderful)

Can courage quell despair!

(Years of life are waiting for us)!

Short poems

Now that you already have an idea of ​​\u200b\u200breal British poems, it's time to decide where to start learning poems in english with small children. Agree, the above poems were difficult even for your perception - therefore, there is no doubt that a novice child cannot cope with such a volume of information. In this regard, the best option is the gradual development of short poems that use the simplest words and phrases. Often in books that involve independent study of a foreign language, those poems are specially published where the words are easy to pronounce and, in principle, light and often encountered - so it will be easier for the child to understand the meaning of the poem.

Analyze small sizes poems in english which are offered below. Will you be able to quickly understand the meaning of the poem on your own - or will you need additional help in this?

Snow on the ground.

(Snow on the ground).

Snow on the tree.

(Snow on the trees).

Snow on the house.

(Snow on the house).

(Snow on me)!

Just a few words mentioned in the poem, without any extra effort and without much difficulty, formed into melodic sentences in a rhymed version!

And here is another version of a short poem in English for memorization:

The leaves are falling

(Leaves are falling)

(In sequence).

(Summer is over)

School's begun.

(School has started).

The proposed version of the poem is light and exciting. This is the perfect option for learning English in the lower grades!

By the same principle, you can compose or find many more poems. A complete meaning, accessible to understanding, can be made up of only four lines of a poem. If the child does not have difficulties with quatrains, one can gradually take on longer poems:

(on a summer day)

has rain or sun,

(It happens rain or shine).

(But anyway),

(It's fun).

to stand in the rain

(Stand in the rain)

That's pouring down

(which pours from the sky),

(Or lie under the sun)

That paints me brown.

(Sunbathe).

The more poems you and your child can master, the more vocabulary and previously unknown words will remain in memory. Therefore, do not stop there - periodically study new poems in english- both children's short ones and more professional ones from real poets.

Congratulations in verse

Probably, in life, absolutely every person sooner or later faces the need to congratulate someone close on an important holiday. And it’s good if this is a person living in your country - in this case it’s not difficult to compose and beautifully present congratulations.

Nevertheless, there are more and more situations when you need to congratulate a person “abroad” on an important date. If one of your relatives and friends lives in an English-speaking country, be prepared to congratulate him not in Russian, but in your "native" English - and you must definitely prepare for this in advance.

Any person, be it a relative, colleague, partner, client, will be pleased to receive English congratulations. This is an original way to emphasize your predisposition and strengthen trusting relationships. And given that English is the most common and popular language in the world, it is doubly necessary to know and be able to compose congratulations in English. Besides, what if not congratulations in English - the perfect way to demonstrate your knowledge and success in learning the language!

You can decide for yourself whether this congratulation will be in prose or in poetic form. However, we guarantee that a poetic greeting will make a double sensation - after all, you need to spend twice as much time and effort on this. Your relatives or friends will definitely appreciate such a gesture.

We bring to your attention several common congratulations in English in poetic form. For example - a beautiful and pleasant birthday greeting:

Birthday girl, today's your day!

(Birthday girl, today is your day)!

Time to eat cake, sing songs and play!

(Time to eat cake, sing songs and play).

There are so many ways to have birthday fun.

(There are so many ways to have fun on your birthday).

Here's hoping you get to do every one!

(I hope you try them all)!

Another version of a creative poetic congratulation in English is given below:

Have an amazing birthday!

(May your birthday be amazing)

Have a wonderful life every day

(May every day life seem beautiful)

May you have plans for success

(And all things are shrouded in amazing success),

And try to avoid making a mess.

(You avoid polemics in vain).

Save problems with the "cold" reaction,

(You look at all the problems calmly)

Take from love hot satisfaction.

(And enjoy the passion from love).

May all dreams really come true!

(All dreams come true let them worthy)!

All the best! Happy birthday to you!

(Best birthday, Se lja Vi)!

Why do you need to know English poems?

So, we have seen with you that English poems exist in a wide variety of variants and can have the most diverse purpose. Poems themselves are an integral part in the culture of every country and in every language. Using the poetic form, you can creatively express emotions and feelings, in addition, poems are always full of verbal variety. And rhyme, which is the main feature in any poem, helps to memorize words and set expressions in the best possible way. In English, both beginners and those who have been mastering the language for a long time use the poetic form for development. The more verses you learn, the more words remain in your memory - and in combination with various other words, they can acquire new meanings and meanings.

It does not matter at what age you start learning the language, but it is recommended to start classes as early as childhood. From an early age, you will be able to remember more information, although at first it will be given with great difficulty. Therefore, if your child has started learning English, offer him as many interesting exercises as possible. Small nursery rhymes can be an excellent basis for effective practice.

Finally, here are the main reasons why poetry in English is not only possible, but also necessary to study:

  • All learned poems are deposited in long-term memory to one degree or another, which gives positive results in vocabulary replenishment;
  • Each traditional poem contains patterns for constructing English sentences. The language is unique in that it has a clear order in which the members of a sentence are used. Thus, you learn in verse not only vocabulary, but also master grammar;
  • By studying poems in a foreign language, you help develop memory and learn associative thinking. Poems in Russian are not always easy to come by, and for convenience we use associations, comparing words with certain pictures “in our head”. The same thing happens in English speech - this will certainly have a positive effect on your intellectual abilities.

Finally, learning English in poetic form is always interesting and fun! Many poems are playful and positive in their content. Such poems will help improve and improve the emotional mood, charge everyone with optimism, which means they will do their own, positive work in advancing linguistics. In schools, higher educational institutions, they also always practice the way of learning the language through the study of poems, allowing students to independently choose a poem to their liking.

It is not difficult to learn poetry in English. Look for simple poems right now and try to learn a few - just imagine with what pride you will recite the first English verse to your family and friends! We wish you success in your endeavors. And then - more: try to compose your own poem in English.

Poems in English with translation

How Cruel Are The Parents How blind and harsh
How Cruel Are The Parents How cruel are the parents Who riches only prize,

And to the wealthy booby Poor Woman sacrifice! meanwhile, the happy

Daughter Has but a choice of strife; To shun a tyrant Father"s hate-Become

A wretched wife. The ravening hawk pursuing, the trembling dove thus flies,

To shun impelling ruin, Awhile her pinions tries; Till, of escape
despairing, No shelter or retreat, She trusts the ruthless Falconer, And

Drops beneath his feet.

How blind and stern Sometimes father and mother are, That their daughter is ready for the rich

Sell. And the daughter, persecuted by her father, Exhausted by the struggle, Must leave her father's

House And become a wife-slave. So the falcon over the dove Tirelessly circles. His

Prey fragile The villain will not spare. The poor thing is rushing about, bye, Despair

Full, At the feet of a cruel shooter

She won't jump.

Jockie Has Taken The Parting Kiss Song of the girl
Jockie has taken the parting kiss, Over the mountains he is gone, And with

Him is all my bliss - Nothing but grief with me remain. Spare my love, you

Winds that blow, driven sleets and beating rain! Spare my love, you feathery

Snow, Drifting over the frozen plain! When the shades of evening creep over

The day "s fair happy eye, Sound and safely may he sleep, Sweetly blythe his

Awakening be! He will think on her he loves, Fondly he will repeat her name;

For wherever he distant roves, Jockie's heart is still at home.

He kissed me And left on the slopes of the mountains. I look at the ledges of gray rocks

I am from now on. Spare him on the way, Fractional rain, crackling hail. Mountain

Paths do not notice On the peaks, snowfall! In the pale twilight of the night

Circling, blizzard, over him - Let him sleep peacefully And wake up

Unharmed. Let him call me And cast a glance into the valley. The path leads him

Forward, And love calls back.

Hostess, Count The Reckoning. I cry for you mistress
Then, hostess, count the reckoning, The reckoning, the reckoning! then,

Hostess, count the reckoning, And bring a drink of ale more! Gone is the

Day, and dark is the night, But we will never stray for want of light,

For ale and brandy is stars and moon, And blood red wine is the rising

Sun. There is wealth and ease for gentlemen, And simple folk must fight

And fend (for themselves); But here we are all in one accord For every

Man that is drunk as a lord. My stoup (of ale) is a holy pool, That

Heals the wounds of care and sorrow, And Pleasure is a wanton trout: If

You drink it all, you will find him out!

The night comes, the light goes. Shall we light a candle? No and no! Like a sun,

It shines for us, Crimson-red wine. I cry for you, mistress!

I cry for you, hostess, and you pour more! The master's servant will support, A

The poor man is his leg. Of us here, everyone is straight and firm: He who is drunk is himself

Yourself and the lord. The holy cup is my glass: I treat any flaw in it. BUT

Pleasure - trout: I catch it after drinking my ale!

In the bedroom - a cradle.
In the cradle - lilies of the valley
Full basket.
lilies of the valley, lilies of the valley
Full basket!
Lilies of the valley - in a basket,
The basket is in the cradle.
The cradle is in the bedroom.
And the bedroom is in the house.
The house is in the middle of the courtyard.
The yard faces the street.
And the street is in the city
The city is in the kingdom.
Here is the key to the kingdom
Key to the kingdom.
spring is coming Spring is coming

Birdies build your nest;
Weave together straw and feather,
Doing each your best.

Spring is coming, spring is coming,
Flowers are coming, too;
Pansies, lilies, daffodils
Now are coming through.

Spring is coming, spring is coming,
All around is fair;
Shimmer, quiver on the river,
Joy is everywhere.

Spring has come, spring has come
Birds are nesting,
They drag feathers and straws,
Songs are sung.

Spring has come, spring has come
Buds on the trees
Bloomed in our garden
Buttercups flowers.

Spring has come, spring has come
Fun for all people.
Let's sing and dance
And we will laugh.

It Was Not Her Lovely Blue Eyes Sineglazka
It was not her lovely blue eyes was my ruin: Fair though she be, that was

Never my undoing. It was the dear smile when nobody did pay attention to us.

It was the bewitching, sweet, stolen glance of kindness! Sore do I fear that

To hope is denied me, Sore do I fear that despair must stay with me; But

Though cruel Fortune should fate us to sever, Queen shall she be in my bosom

For ever. Chloris, I am thine with a passion sincerest, And you have

Plighted me love of the dearest, And you are the angel that never can alter

Sooner the sun in his motion would falter!

Oh, brothers, my death is near! On a rainy day, at an unkind hour, I ran into

On two blades - On this pair of blue eyes! Not the gold of her curls, Not the cherry of her lips,

Not shoulder satin Guilty of my death, Only this pair of blue eyes. Throw

A word, look in the face Yes, turn around for show - She is not the first time, but at least I

Howl Now without those blue eyes. Perhaps she will take pity, But no - it has come

My death hour, And only one is to blame, All the same pair of blue eyes!

The Parting Kiss Kiss
Humid seal of soft affections, Tenderest pledge of future bliss, Dearest tie

Of young connections, Love "s first snowdrop, virgin kiss! Speaking silence,

Dumb confession, Passion's birth, and infant's play, Dove-like fondness,

Chaste concession, Glowing dawn of the future day! Sorrowing joy, Adieu's last

Action, (Lingering lips must now disjoin), What words can ever speak

Affection So thrilling and sincere as thine!

Wet seal of confessions, Promise of secret bliss - Kiss, early snowdrop,

Fresh, clean, like snow. Silent Concession, Passion Child's Play, Friendship

A dove with a dove, Happiness is the first time. Joy in a sad parting

Question: when again? .. Where are the words to find the name of These feelings?
