The Presence of Love By: Samuel Taylor Coleridge

There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee, The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy.
 * And in Life's noisiest hour,

You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within; And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart Thro' all my Being, thro' my pulse's beat; You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light, Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.

And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you, How oft! I bless the Lot that made me love you. ** This poem shows the use of nature to express one's feelings of love on how much shine of light can embrace a smile on one's face to see their loved one. The poem also demonstrates self- recognition how the other person completes them and makes them a better person.

Extra:

A famous poet in Europe was Adam Mickiewicz from Poland who traveled to Paris, in order to write since the period of Germanization (a time where Poles were not allowed to speak nor write in their native language) was occurring in his home country. He wrote a poem called, "Oda Do Milosci," which basically means to the youth. He wrote this directly to the youth since they can change the world and are more flexible to change ways, whereas the older ones are not. He also states that young people have strength, capability to learn, and the future lies in their hands, so they must grab life by the hands and change it to make a better future for themselves.
