A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Sara Teasdale

Arcturus brings the spring back
 As surely now as when
He rose on eastern islands
 For Grecian girls and men;

The twilight is as clear a blue,
 The star as shaken and as bright,
And the same thought he gave to them
 He gives to me to-night.

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.
