10 of the Most Beautiful Poems in the English Language – Interesting Literature

 Even so my sun one early morn did shine,

With all triumphant splendour on my brow;
But out, alack, he was but one hour mine,
The region cloud hath mask’d him from me now …

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby …

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man …
