Famous Poetry from famous people

Famous Poetry


From the lone shieling of the misty island
Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.

Old Gaelic lines, originally sung by fishermen on the st. Lawrence River in Canada.

*****

Lord Byron

But first, on earth, as vampires sent,
Thy corse shall from it's tomb be rent.
Then ghastly haunt thy native place
And suck the blood of all thy race.

*****

A Fashionable watering place.
By Robert De Niro SNR

'I don't want to reincarnate anymore'

So many lives
Laid end to end
Like a river
At each bend

Am I really all these faces?
Tattered vestiges one traces?

Let me curb my temper,
Quietly sit and fast.
Hoping that tomorrow
It's all past.
