“Already with thee! tender is the night.”

“All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.”

“For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.”

“Wild Nights – Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile – the winds –
To a heart in port –
Done with the compass –
Done with the chart!

Rowing in Eden –
Ah, the sea!
Might I moor – Tonight –
In thee!”

“Tender is the night
For a broken heart
Who will dry your eyes
When it falls apart”

“All my life, I'd been around men. That night, I discovered the tenderness of a woman.”

“Take him, earth, for cherishing,
To thy tender breast receive him.
Body of a man I bring thee,
Noble even in its ruin.”
Nunc suscipe, terra, fovendum,<br/>gremioque hunc concipe molli.<br/>Hominis tibi membra sequestro,<br/>generosa et fragmina credo.

“Behold a silly tender babe,
In freezing winter night,
In homely manger trembling lies;
Alas! a piteous sight.”

“Abide with me from morn til eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.”

“Go bow thy head in gentle spite,
Thou lily white,
For she who spies thee waving here,
With thee in beauty can compare
As day with night.”
