A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Sara Teasdale

The roofs are shining from the rain.
 The sparrows tritter as they fly,
And with a windy April grace
 The little clouds go by.
Yet the back-yards are bare and brown
 With only one unchanging tree—
I could not be so sure of Spring
 Save that it sings in me.

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.
