Recommended Online Poetry Collections
Poetry resources and poetry in the public domain
Follow, poet, follow right
To the bottom of the night,
With your unconstraining voice
Still persuade us to rejoice;With the farming of a verse
Make a vineyard of the curse,
Sing of human unsuccess
In a rapture of distress;In the deserts of the heart
—from "In Memory of W. B. Yeats" by W. H. Auden
Let the healing fountain start,
In the prison of his days
Teach the free man how to praise.
