40th Wedding Anniversary Poems
Wedding anniversaries, especially the big ones like 25th, 40th & 50th wedding anniversary, are times for wedding poems, wedding toasts and speech making in general. Here you'll find some wedding poems that are perfectly suited to celebrating a 40th wedding anniversary.
All the Love You Ask of God Is Here By Nicholas
Gordon
All
the love you ask of God is here,
Delivered by yourselves, but made
elsewhere, Eden's legacy, that you might be Less fearful that
your time pass by untouched. Even after forty years of loving And
sixty years of life, you need no less, Needing still the kiss that
stills the darkness, Desperate for the one who shares the
night. Long, then, may you love, each giving each A window to a
mirror, in which both Will see a grace beyond the grace of
being, Rendered into life by your own hand. Every moment sings
in celebration, Noticed mainly when the hour chimes. Carillons
now clang joyfully in tribute, Eloquent reminders of your love.
Forty
Years Together You Have Loved by Nicholas Gordon
Forty
years together you have loved, Opening a door to love for
me. Romantic hearts bequeath a harmony That proves more rich
than any life might prove. Years pour like water rapidly
downstream, Yielding harvests gleaned in fields to come, Each
waiting for the heart to bring it home, Accumulating in an
undreamt dream. Rejoice, then, in a beauty never gone, Sustained
by songs more sweet because passed on.
To My Dear
and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet
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 recompense. Thy love
is such I can in no way repay; The heavens reward thee manifold I
pray. Then while we live, in love lets so persevere, That when
we live no more, we may live ever.
