To---

Cant do without listing down my favourite poem of all time. This is To-- by P. B. Shelly - a beautiful poem dedicated to Love by Shelly....

 ONE word is too often profaned 
   For me to profane it; 
One feeling too falsely disdain'd 
   For thee to disdain it; 
One hope is too like despair 
   For prudence to smother; 
And pity from thee more dear 
   Than that from another. 

I can give not what men call love: 
   But wilt thou accept not 
The worship the heart lifts above 
   And the heavens reject not, 
The desire of the moth for the star, 
   Of the night for the morrow, 
The devotion to something afar 
   From the sphere of our sorrow?
