We had that in my house when I was a kid (hardbound) and although I opened it many times (the title is so beautiful it lured me) I could never get into it. To this day verse usually bores me. I'm always "Quit trying to show off and get to the POINT."

I’ve always loved this poem. I think I was in the seventh grade the first time I heard it. I still read it from time to time.

I just fail at the whole "appreciating poetry" thing. :-)

Except for a very few exceptions.

I’m the same. Usually I’m not a big fan of poetry, but every so often one grabs me. Like this one. ☺️
