" "
Learn to win a lady's faith
Nobly, as the thing is high;
Bravely as for life and death -
With a loyal gravity.

Lead her from the festive boards,
Point her to the starry skies,
Guard her, by your truthful words,
Pure from courtship's flatteries.

Additional quotes by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The face of all the world is changed, I think
Since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul.

But so fair,
She takes the breath of men away
Who gaze upon her unaware.

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
