Poetry Archives

A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Sara Teasdale

The moon grows out of the hills
   A yellow flower,
The lake is a dreamy bride
   Who waits her hour.

Beauty has filled my heart,
   It can hold no more,
It is full, as the lake is full,
   From shore to shore.

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.
