A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Christina Rossetti

Passing away the bliss,
  The anguish passing away:
Thus it is
    Today.

Clean past away the sorrow,
  The pleasure brought back to stay:
Thus and this
    Tomorrow.

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.
