To My Dear And Loving Husband - Poem by Anne Bradstreet

Autoplay next video

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompetence.
Thy love is such I can no way repay.
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persever
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Anne Bradstreet

I wasn't prepared to read such a glorious declaration of love from a woman of the 1600's. That husband was a very fortunate man, wasn't he? . (Report) Reply

If we all could express our love to our loved ones, there would be far less couples getting divorced. (Report) Reply

Yes, this is a true love.
Bradstreet was a leading American poet.
She expressed her true love as she was a true Puritan. (Report) Reply
