"In a Disused Graveyard By Robert Frost"


The living come with grassy tread

To read the gravestones on the hill;

The graveyard draws the living still,

But never any more the dead.

 

The verses in it say and say:

‘The ones who living come today

To read the stones and go away

Tomorrow dead will come to stay.’

 

So sure of death the marbles rhyme,

Yet can’t help marking all the time

How no one dead will seem to come.

What is it men are shrinking from?

 

It would be easy to be clever

And tell the stones: Men hate to die

And have stopped dying now forever.

I think they would believe the lie.

SPECIAL LOVE POEMS FOR GIRLFRIENDS

  Her eyes are like the stars in the sky, Her sweetest smile is what makes me  high. Sometimes I wish I  could hug her forever, And till the end of our life, be  together. Thank God for  making me meet this  angel, Who has made my ordinary life so very special. I promise to love you till the end of my life, let me be your hero, my beloved, my wife. If i could  give you one  thing in life, i would give you the ability to  see yourself through my eyes only then would you realize how special you are to me. Sometimes i wonder if love is worth  fighting for, but then i remember your face and i'm ready for war. You never fail to  amaze me everyday there is  something new that makes me love you even more than the day before. If a man expects a woman to be an angel in his life, he must first create heaven for her angels don't live in hell. Waiting is a sign of true...
