First line(s)PoetName of the Poem
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
God of our fathers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle-line
The sea is calm to-night. The tide is full, the moon lies fair upon the straits
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
When I consider how my light is spent, Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide
I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree
I met a traveller from an antique land, who said: 'Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert . . . '
You do not do, you do not do any more, black shoe in which I have lived like a foot
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox
Oh! young Lochinvar is come out of the West
Because I could not stop for Death - He kindly stopped for me –
On either side the river lie, long fields of barley and of rye, that clothe the wold and meet the sky
I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.
'I cannot go to school today,' said little Peggy Ann McKay.
It was many and many a year ago, in a kingdom by the sea...
She walks in beauty, like the night , like the night, of cloudless climes and starry skies
''Will you walk into my parlour?' said the Spider to the Fly.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row
I wandered lonely as a cloud, that floats on high o'er vales and hills
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright. In the forests of the night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep.
