A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

George Gordon Lord Byron

’Tis done!—I saw it in my dreams:
No more with Hope the future beams;
  My days of happiness are few:
Chill’d by Misfortune’s wintry blast,
My dawn of Life is overcast;
  Love, Hope, and Joy, alike adieu!
  Would I could add Remembrance too!

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.
