Give me pretty words!

I know I updated, like, a half an hour ago--but! I had a thought (scary as that is).

I love poetry and I have my favorite poets, but I haven't really branched out past the classic poetry writers like Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Frost, etc.

So.

List me your favorite poems, right here in the comments, and tell me why you like them so much. That's right. GO NOW, DO EEET. :D

The Lamb

[cid2065.livejournal.com]

The opposite (in the Song of Innocence) to the Tyger (... experience)

Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life & bid thee feed,
By the stream & o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, wooly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb.
He is meek & he is mild;
He became a little child.
I a child & thou a lamb.
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
