I was just wondering what everyone's favourite poem is. I don't actually like very much poetry but there are a few outstanding poems which do come to mind. So post your favourite poem and maybe a verse from it?

I like "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe.

"And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!"
