The Nation's Favourite: Love Poems (Poetry)

In this selection of 100 popular poems, poets of every age consider that most universal of themes: love.

There are even poems for those more melancholic moments, Hardy's haunting 'After a Journey', for example, and Larkin's poignant 'Love Songs in Age'.
