Pierre De Ronsard Love Poems

... - 3. I Want To Be Inside You
A hundred times I wish I could transform myself
And become an invisible spirit that hides inside your heart
And seeks to comprehend your scorn

... - 4. On His Ladies Waking
My lady woke upon a morning fair,
What time Apollo's chariot takes the skies,
... - 5. Deadly Kisses

... - 6. Roses
I send you here a wreath of blossoms blown,
And woven flowers at sunset gathered,
Another dawn had seen them ruined, and shed
Loose leaves upon the grass at random strown.
... - 7. To The Moon
Hide this one night thy crescent, kindly Moon;
So shall Endymion faithful prove, and rest
... - 8. To His Young Mistress

Art scarcely blossomed from the bud,
Yet hast such store of evil will,
A heart so full of hardihood,
...
