From 'Love' (James Russell Lowell)

I've never been able to connect with love poems that glorify the sentiment as something other-wordly; I much prefer poems like this.

True love is but a humble low-born thing,
And hath its food served up in earthen ware;
It is a thing to walk with, hand in hand,
Through the every-dayness of this work-day world.
