Unforgotten Robert Service I know a garden where the lilies gleam And one who lingers in the sunshine there; She is than white stoled lily far more fair, And oh, her eyes are heaven lit with dream! I know a garret, cold and dark and drear, And one who toils and toils with tireless pen, Until his brave, sad eyes grow weary-- then he seeks the stars, pale, silent as a seer. And ah, it's strange, for, desolate and dim, between these two there rolls an ocean wide Yet he is in the garden by her side And she is in the garret there with him.

Interesting poem............... Was there any particular reason you chose it? Or is it personal? If so just tell me to but out.

Just one of my old favourites. First read it 25 years ago in high school. Tried to find it last year, but mis-remembered it badly. Finally found it again and decided to share.

for me my fave poem in highschool was "The Highway Man". i wish i could remember who wrote it as i'd like to be able to find it and print it. For those of you who don't know the poem its about a highway man, no kidding, better known around Oz as a bushranger, and it tells of a love story between the inkeepers dark eyed daughter Bess and the highway man. The innkeeper pretty much uses Bess as bait one dark and storm night........and i'm not going to tell u the finish other than its very romantic. hell.........i'm gonna try and google just the title.
