Okay all you poetry buffs! :bigok: I need some help!



I need a poem from a Romantic poet. Not as in love romantic, but as in the style of writing romantic.



Anyone with a good poem?



Just thought I'd ask...since I'm bored...

........ girl

LOL...it's for my AP Lit class.

The splendor falls on castle walls

On snowy summit old in story

The long light shakes across the lake

And the wild cateract leaps in glory



Blow bugles blow

Set the wild echos flying

Blow bugles answer echos

Dying dying dying



Oh hark! Oh hear! How thin and clear!

And higher clearer farther going

How sweet and far from cliff and scar

The horns of elfland faintly blowing



Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying

Blow bugles answer echos

Dying dying dying



Oh love they die in yon rich sky

They faint on hill and field and river

Our echos roll from soul to soul

And grow forever and forever



Blow bugles blow

Set the wild echos flying

And answer echos answer

Dying dying dying



-- Lord Alfred Tynneson





I think he classifies as romantic but don't quote me on that. I'm more an EE Cummings person myself. Still one of my all time favorite poets.

Thanks, I like it...I'll definitely check with my teacher to make sure it's doable.

Tennyson is technically Victorian, not Romantic. Romantic era started with Wordsworth and Coleridge.



Coleridge tends to be a bit overblown for my taste but Wordsworth is pretty good. Also good are Shelly and Keats. Keats' "Ode to a Grecian Urn" is pretty much the manifesto of the late Romantic pantheistic philosophy. http://www.library.utoronto.ca/utel/rp/poe...ms/keats19.html



But I likewise prefer later stuff, Frost in my case. A little more down to earth.

Thanks for jogging the old memory DJ https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I like Frost as well, not usually fond of Keats.



Ozymandius is an excellent poem by Shelly. Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner would be fun to submit as it takes forever and a day to read it.



Oscar Wilde writes some solid stuff, Ballad of Reading Gaol jumps to mind.



Wha? I like poetry https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
