Best Remembered PoemsThe 126 poems in this superb collection of 19th and 20th century British and American verse range from the impassioned "Renascence" of Edna St. Vincent Millay to Edward Lear's whimsical "The Owl and the Pussycat" and James Whitcomb Riley’s homespun "When the Frost Is on the Punkin." Famous poets such as Wordsworth, Tennyson, Whitman, and Frost are well-represented, as are less well-known poets such as John McCrae ("In Flanders Fields") and Ernest Thayer ("Casey at the Bat"). Includes 10 selections from the Common Core State Standards Initiative: "The Owl and the Pussycat," "Casey at the Bat," "Jabberwocky," "O Captain! My Captain!," "Paul Revere's Ride," "Ozymandias," "The Raven," "Because I Could Not Stop for Death," "Mending Wall," and "Ode on a Grecian Urn." |

Nor is this collection the place (with a few exceptions, such as “Home, Sweet Home”) for lyrics written to be set to music, even though many popular songs are poems in their own right and better known than most verse in this anthology.

Endless parodies have been written, the best one by Burgess himself: O yes, I wrote the Purple Cow. I'm sorry now I wrote it. But I can tell you anyhow, I'll kill you if you quote it. O. Henry produced this: I never beat a rotten egg,
