I was just wondering what everyone's favorite poem is. Please post up at least some of the verses if you can .
Here's Mine: She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron
She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starryskies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent
The smiles that win, the hints that glow,
But tell of days in goodnesss spent,
A mind at peace with all bellow
A heart whose love is innocent!
Coming in close second is Cattulus"
Let us live and let us love my Lesbia
And not give a damn about the talk of crabbed old men
Suns may set and rise again for us
and the end of our bright light
there is the sleep of one everlasting night etc.
