What is your favourite poem?

The Manichaeans, by Gary Snyder

It has romance, sensuality and shows the spiritual side to love. It is the closest to the truth of the post-coital feeling with someone you really care about.
 
Lady of Shallott by Tennyson

On either side the river lie
long fields of barley and of rye,
that clothe the wold and meet the sky
and through the field a road runs by
to many towered Camelot.
