I do not have a college education, unless you count two years at a community college for an AA in practical nursing, so I did not study any classic literature, including poetry.
I find it a wondrous thing when I accidentally discover a "classic" poem I actually enjoy.
I recently came across a poem mentioned in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. Yes, I have been a fan of Star Srek since the original series was broadcast in the early 70s in syndication at 6pm every weekday evening.
BTW science fiction is my favorite genre of literature. I recommend the novel Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (but I digress).
The poem referenced in the ST episode was "Song of the Wandering Aengus " by Yeats.
Of course I looked it up, and was delighted by it. It was written in plain English so that even such an uneducated soul as I could appreciate it.
The Song of Wandering Aengus
By William Butler Yeats
I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.
When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.
Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.
Isn't that simply beautiful?
