A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

George Gordon Lord Byron

Anne’s Eye is liken’d to the Sun,
  From it such Beams of Beauty fall;
And this can be denied by none,
  For like the Sun, it shines on All.

Then do not admiration smother,
  Or say these glances don’t become her;
To you, or I, or any other
  Her Sun, displays perpetual Summer.

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.
