Favourite poems

Like the topic title said, put your fave here. Here's one of mine. Rupert Brooke's Waikiki Quote: Warm perfumes like a breath from vine and tree Drift down the darkness. Plangent, hidden from eyes Somewhere an eukaleli thrills and cries And stabs with pain the night's brown savagery. And dark scents whisper; and dim waves creep to me, Gleam like a woman's hair, stretch out, and rise; And new stars burn into the ancient skies, Over the murmurous soft Hawaian sea. And I recall, lose, grasp, forget again, And still remember, a tale I have heard, or known, An empty tale, of idleness and pain, Of two that loved -- or did not love -- and one Whose perplexed heart did evil, foolishly, A long while since, and by some other sea. Rupert Brooke, Waikiki, 1913 I don't know why I love it so much. Something about the last line, as well as the "new stars burn into the ancient skies." It's tragic he died so young.
