Alfred Tennyson Quotes That Will Inspire You to Live Your Best Life

1. Half the night I waste in sighs,Half in dreams I sorrow afterThe delight of early skies;In a wakeful dose I sorrowFor the hand, the lips, the eyes,For the meeting of the morrow,The delight of happy laughter,The delight of low replies. Maud, and other poems

2. If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.

3. That loss is common would not makeMy own less bitter, rather more:Too common! Never morning woreTo evening, but some heart did break.Verse VI In Memoriam

4. There has fallen a splendid tearFrom the passion-flower at the gate.She is coming, my dove, my dear;She is coming, my life, my fate.The red rose cries, "She is near, she is near;"And the white rose weeps, "She is late;"The larkspur listens, "I hear, I hear;"And the lily whispers, "I wait." She is coming, my own, my sweet;Were it ever so airy a tread,My heart would hear her and beat,Were it earth in an earthy bed;My dust would hear her and beat,Had I lain for a century dead,Would start and tremble under her feet,And blossom in purple and red.
