A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

George Parsons Lathrop

The sunshine of thine eyes,
  (Oh still, celestial beam!)
Whatever it touches it fills
  With the life of its lambent gleam.

The sunshine of thine eyes,
  Oh let it fall on me!
Though I be but a mote of the air,
  I could turn to gold for thee!

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.
