Robert Frost\n\nNature's first green is gold, \nHer hardest hue to hold. \nHer early leaf's a flower; \nBut only so an hour. \nThen leaf subsides to leaf. \nSo Eden sank to grief, \nSo dawn goes down to day. \nNothing gold can stay.

Thomas Gray\nOde on a Distant Prospect of Eton College\n\n".Yet ah! why should they know their fate? \nSince sorrow never comes too late, \nAnd happiness too swiftly flies. \nThought would destroy their paradise. \nNo more; where ignorance is bliss, \n'Tis folly to be wise."\n\nhttp://www.web-books.com/Classics/Poetry/Anthology/Gray_T/OdeOnDistance.htm

The poem be recited in the movie was actually by William Butler Yeats.\n\nHe Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven\n\n HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,\nEnwrought with golden and silver light,\nThe blue and the dim and the dark cloths\nOf night and light and the half-light,\nI would spread the cloths under your feet:\nBut I, being poor, have only my dreams;\nI have spread my dreams under your feet;\nTread softly because you tread on my dreams.

This poem has more than 4 lines, but it is the neatest poem I have seen about the English language.\n\nWhen the English tongue we speak\nWhy is break not rhymed with freak?\nWill you tell me why it’s true\nWe say sew, but likewise few?\nAnd the maker of a verse,\nCannot rhyme his horse with worse?\nBeard is not the same as heard,\nCord is different from word,\nCow is cow, but low is low,\nShoe is never rhymed with foe.\nThink of hose and dose and lose,\nAnd think of goose and yet of choose,\nThink of comb and tomb and bomb,\nDoll and roll and home and some.\nAnd since pay is rhymed with say,\nWhy not paid with said I pray?\nThink of blood and food and good;\nMould is not pronounced like could.\nWherefore done, but gone and lone -\nIs there any reason known?\nTo sum up all, it seems to me\nSounds and letters don’t agree.

He is telling of a woman with whom he knew as a child. She was a beautiful girl and grew into a lovely woman. He danced with her in school and realized that she had grown up.\nLater, as an adult, he read in the paper of her committing suicide by leaping out of a downtown hotel window. He was saddened by this of course.\nThe poem is him recalling her as a young girl and how he felt about her suicide.

You could read this poem:\n\nDo Not Stand at My Grave and Weep\n \nDo not stand at my grave and weep,\nI am not there, I do not sleep.\n\nI am a thousand winds that blow.\nI am the diamond glint on snow.\nI am the sunlight on ripened grain.\nI am the gentle autumn rain.\n\nWhen you wake in the morning's hush,\nI am the sweet, uplifting rush \nOf quiet birds in circled flight.\nI am the soft starlight at night.\n\nDo not stand at my grave and weep.\nI am not there, I do not sleep.\nDo not stand at my grave and cry.\nI am not there, I did not die!\n\nMary Frye (1932)

I agree that <http://www.100words.net/entry/read_member_batch.cfm?entry_member=Laura%20A%20Hill&entry_batch=November&entry_year=2003> is the only site that talks about this poem.  Don't try pinkmonkey.com and the other sites.  I couldn't find the poem comments in their results.

"Who will cry for the little boy, lost and all alone? \nWho will cry for the little boy, abandoned without his own? \nWho will cry for the little boy? He cried himself to sleep. \nWho will cry for the little boy? He never had for keeps. \nWho will cry for the little boy? He walked the burning sand. \nWho will cry for the little boy? The boy inside the man. \nWho will cry for the little boy? Who knows well hurt and pain. \nWho will cry for the little boy? He died and died again. \nWho will cry for the little boy? A good boy he tried to be. \nWho will cry for the little boy, who cries inside of me?"\n\n\n\nI love this poem because i went throught a very hard life as a child, and this always made me feel better.
