Once upon an evening

Sadia Sultana

a garden that glows after dark

A handful of the most beautiful love poems ever written, kept here among the paper lanterns — soft and blush by day, and set aglow when the night comes down.

The lanterns follow your local sky. Tap the moon to keep them burning.

She walks in beauty

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes;

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

Lord Byron

How do I love thee

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

A note left under the lantern

And I will love thee still, my dear,
till a' the seas gang dry —
till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
and the rocks melt wi' the sun.

Robert Burns
