Love poemsLove poems She walks in beauty,like

the night Of cloudless climes and

starry skies, And all that’s best of dark

and bright, Meet in the aspect and

her eyes; Thus mellow’d to that

tender light Which heaven and gaudy

day denies Lord Byron

What’s in a name? That’s which we call a rose

By any other word would smell as sweet.

So Romeo would, were he not called Romeo,

Retain that dear perfection which he owes

Without that title.Romeo, deny your name;

And for your name,which is no part of you,

Take all myself. W. Shakespare
