Through the years, these famous and familiar poems have captured the imagination, heart, and soul of readers who have often committed them to memory. It may be a complete poem, a stanza, or a single memorable line that makes these poems famous and familiar. Here you will find the familiar sonnets of Shakespeare and beloved poems from Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Re-read Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Paul Revere's ride, and enjoy The raven by Edgar Alan Poe, Gunga Din by Rudyard Kipling, and The tyger by William Blake. There are poems to share and read aloud with family and friends: Joyce Kilmer's Trees, Clement Moore's A visit from St. Nicholas, Edward Lear's The owl and the pussy cat, Robert Service's The shooting of Dan McGrew, and that greatest sports poem of all times, Casey at the bat.
