The poetry of earth is never dead.

Here lies one whose name was writ in water.

Love in a hut, with water and a crust, Is - Love, forgive us! - cinders, ashes, dust.

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard, Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on.

In a drear-nighted December, Too happy, happy tree, Thy branches ne'er remember, Their green felicity.

This one always frightened me a bit:
John Keats : This Living Hand (1819)
This living hand, now warm and capable
Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold
And in the icy silence of the tomb,
So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights
That thou wouldst wish thine own heart dry of blood
So in my veins red life might stream again,
And thou be conscience-calm'd?-see here it is?-
I hold it towards you.
That's lovely Cav ... thanks for posting it:)
