The Thorn and the Blossom by Theodora Goss? Covers teensy bits of Arthurian legends, has a pretty neat fated-lovers romance, and is quirkily made in a way that might appeal to an aspiring arts student as an object.
*thinks* Bits of Seaward by Susan Cooper if you've got a copy or two handily available?
Translations by Brian Friel has some romance in it. It's not the focus of the play, but it deals with love when two people can't communicate.
Honestly, I'm just tossing random suggestions your way. Poke at them at your leisure.
Rosemary Sutcliffe's retelling of Tristan and Iseult? Or does that not count, the original tale not being English?
*thiiiinks* This is hard... I'm tempted to recommend Anne of the Five Towns, but it isn't really romance... (It has some, though. It's all very tragic and people die.) *tries to think what else she's read*
Bits from Stardust by Neil Gaiman?
*so geared towards the fantasy, and can't even think of poetry* Sorry. ^-^; I hope there's something in there that's promising. Or at least leads you to such.
