She walks in Beauty,
Like the night
Through cloudless climes
And starry skies

And all that's best
Of dark and light
Meets in her aspect
And her eyes.


I may have a word or two off; that's just off the top of my head.

[color:"green"] THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. [/color]

My favorite is "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot. I remember doing a comparative essay of this poem and Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice". Both offer so much imagery, especially "ragged claws scuttling" along the ocean floor.

I have many favorites poems. One of them is "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening," by Robert Frost. I prefer poems by American poets.

Robert Frost lived, for a time, in my home state of New Hampshire, although he also lived in Vermont, so they claim him, too. Emily Dickinson, who lived in nearby Massachusetts is another all time favorite poet.

If you are always trying to be someone else how can you be yourself?
So try and be yourself more everyday that way you will never lose who you are.

Annabellee is a favorite of mine as well, also The Road Not Taken. Others are If by Rudyard Kipling and Remember by Christina Rossetti.

My 2 all-time faves though are As I Walked Out One Evening and Funeral Blues by W. H. Auden.

I would have to say "Nothing Gold Can Stay -- Robert Frost" and the poem "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep."
