Treasured Poems That Touch the Heart: Cherished Poems and Favorite Poets

by Mary Sanford Laurence

Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “How Do I Love Thee?”, Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken,” Shakespeare’s “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?” These, and all the poems gathered in this compact and beautiful treasury, express the varied emotions that make up the pulse of life. Elation, hope, and apprehension, emptiness and ennui, love lost and found, and here are the verses that capture and convey these feelings, creating a powerful link between the words on the page and the heart of the reader. Arranged by subject—Youth, Life, Romance, Friendship, Character, Prayer, Nature, Sorrow, Growing Old, and Reflections—these beloved works come from the very best writers and have touched generation after generation.
