Dust of Snow - Robert Frost

Shook down on me

From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

LA BELLE DAME SANS MERCI - JOHN KEATS
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel’s granary is full,
And the harvest’s done.

POET'S TREE - SHEL SILVERSTEIN
Underneath the poet tree
Come and rest awhile with me,
And watch the way the word-web weaves
Between the shady story leaves.
The branches of the poet tree
Reach from the mountains to the sea.
So come and dream, or come and climb---
Just don't get hit by falling rhymes.
