A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Elizabeth Stoddard

Swift as the tide in the river
  The blood flows through my heart,
At the curious little fancy
  That to-morrow we must part.

It seems to me all over,
  The last words have been said;
And I have the curious fancy
  To-morrow will find me dead!

What are tags?
Tags, sometimes called “folksonomies,” are words that describe or categorize a poem, like “20th century modernism” or “Italian sonnet”. Tags can help you find poems that have something in common, based on how other people classify them.
