A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Christina Rossetti

“Should one of us remember,
  And one of us forget,
I wish I knew what each will do—
  But who can tell as yet?”

“Should one of us remember,
  And one of us forget,
I promise you what I will do—
And I’m content to wait for you,
  And not be sure as yet.”

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.
