What Poems Can You Remember?

[Tilly2]

Do you have any line of poetry in your head? Lines which you can recall very easily?

Can you write a couple of lines here and see if other people can recognise them?

Now, I have to be able to trust you all not to 'google'. I'd like to know which poems people can genuinely remember.

I don't want the whole poem, just a few lines.
Nursery rhymes and limericks, not allowed.

I'll start with

'If ever I saw blessing in the air
I see it now on this still early day.'

[DTCwordfan]

There's some more of it, seadogg.....Ionescou...

learnt that one line for school assembly almost 30 years ago

The boy stood on the burning deck,
His feet were all in blisters.
The flames came up and burnt his pants
So now he wears his sister's.

Sorry to correct psybo on page 1 of the thread but it is one of my favourite poems.
It should be
"Is there anybody there?" said the traveller

My all time favourite is:
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock kneed, coughing like hags.....

[kawakiri]

Their walls are wet, their ceilings drip;
Their feet upon the floor
Go softly with a squish-flap-flip,
As they sidle to the door.

I was brought up very close to Sarehole Mill so recognise that one straight away :)
