"A Treasury of Favorite Poems celebrates the rich poetic legacy of America and England with more than 400 poems that span more than four centuries. The poets represented are acknowledged as among the worlds greatest: William Shakespeare, John Milton, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, John Keats, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, William Butler Yeats, Wallace Stevens, and more than fifty others. In addition to a generous selection of Shakespeares sonnets, this volume includes the complete text of William Blakes Songs of Innocence and of Experience, and such familiar classics as Samuel Taylor Coleridges "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," Edgar Allan Poes "The Raven," Matthew Arnolds "Dover Beach," Ralph Waldo Emersons "Concord Hymn," Henry Wadsworth Longfellows "Paul Reveres Ride," Edna St. Vincent Millays "The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver," and Robert Frosts "The Road Not Taken." There are poems here to suit all moods and interests: love poems from Christopher Marlowe and Andrew Marvell; meditative poems including John Miltons sonnet on his blindness and Thomas Grays "Elegy Written in a Country Church-Yard"; politically charged poems such as Percy Bysshe Shelleys "Ozymandias" and William Butler Yeats "Easter, 1916"; nonsense verse from Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll; poems of place such as Carl Sandburgs "Chicago" and Walt Whitmans "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry"; and poems of passion including Emily Brontèes "No coward soul is mine" and selections from Elizabeth Barrett Brownings Sonnets from the Portuguese. There are even celebrations of the Christmas holiday in Clement Clarke Moores "A Visit from St. Nicholas" and of Americas national pastime in Ernest Thayers whimsical "Casey at the Bat." For anyone who admires achievements in the poetic form and the skill with which poets capture in memorable phrases the emotions and experiences that speak to every reader, A Treasury of Favorite Poems is a bountiful collection of some of the worlds best-loved and most popular poetry"--Dust jacket.
