Truman High School Men's Choir performing Shakespeare's "O Mistress Mine".





LitLove?



Lit and Love have undeniably associated through time and again. Classics such as "Wuthering Heights", "Romeo and Jualiet" and "Jane Eyre" are but a few that have been read and reread over generations. Shakespeare's "O Mistress Mine" is a poetry that one should not miss to read when adrressing the topic of love:



O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?

O, stay and hear; your true love's coming,

That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;

Journeys end in lovers meeting,

Every wise man's son doth know.

What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;

Present mirth hath present laughter;

What's to come is still unsure:In delay there lies not plenty;

Then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty,Youth's a stuff will not endure.
