A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Robert Herrick

Immortal clothing I put on
So soon as, Julia, I am gone
To mine eternal mansion.

Thou, thou art here, to human sight
Cloth’d all with incorrupted light;
But yet how more admir’dly bright

Wilt thou appear, when thou art set
In thy refulgent thronelet,
That shin’st thus in thy counterfeit!

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.
