A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Archibald Lampman

Though fancy and the might of rhyme,
  That turneth like the tide,
Have borne me many a musing time,
  Beloved, from thy side.

Ah yet, I pray thee, deem not, Sweet,
  Those hours were given in vain;
Within these covers to thy feet
  I bring them back again.

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.
