I think my favorite is Percy Bysshe Shelley. Especial "The Cloud"

I also like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's work. Who in their right mind would not like Henley's "Invictus"

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced or cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul

These are old old poems and will never die. I enjoy them also. Same as YOU.
