Uniquely comprehensive...highly readable...the definitive collection of classic lyric poetry.
From Shakespeare's wise music to Marvell's profundity and wit...from the Romantics' passionate view of man and woman and nature to twentieth-centur poets' confused searching, this outstanding one-volume collection brings us the profound, soul-nourishing experience of great poetry.

"The Tyger" by William Blake

"Sailing to Byzantium" by William Butler Yeats and more than ninety additional classic poems.
