Sad Love Poems
~Alexander Pushkin~
I loved you; even now I may confess, Some embers of my love their fire retain, But do not let it cause you more distress, I do not want to sadden you again. Hopeless and tonguetied, yet I loved you dearly With pangs the jealous and the timid know; So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely, I pray God grant another love you so.

Sad Love Poems
~Robert Graves~
Love Without Hope
Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher Swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter, So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly Singing about her head, as she rode by.
~Anon~
Sad Love Quotes
Aubade
Say, O sweet, and do not rise, The light that shines comes from thine eyes; The day breaks not, it is my heart, Because that you and I must part. Stay, or else my joys will die, And perish in their infancy.
Sad Love Poems: 4
~E. E. Cummings~
it may not always be so; and i say that if your lips, which i have loved, should touch another's, and you dear strong fingers clutch his heart, as mine in time not far away; if on another's face your sweet hair lay in such a silence as i kow, or such great writhing words as, uttering overmuch, stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;
if this should be, i say if this should be -- you of my heart, send me a little word; that i may go unto him, and take his hands, saying, Accept all happiness from me. Then shall i turn my face, and hear one bird sing terribly afar in the lost lands.
Sad Love Poems

A Valediction
If we must part, Then let it be like this; Not heart on heart, Nor with the useless anguish of a kiss; But touch mine hand and say; 'Until tomorrow or some other day, If we must part.'
Words are so weak When love hath been so strong: Let silence speak: 'Life is a little while, and love is long; A time to sow and reap, After harvest a long time to sleep, But words are weak."
