Definitely worth doing. :D

Theodore Roethke’s The Waking, Ariel’s little song from the Tempest, and Stopping by woods on a snowy evening by Robert Frost… always loved these poems, and I think they were also easier to memorize because of their structure. (I still tend to repeat them to myself when I feel tense.) Next, maybe Fern Hill~
Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs
About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,
The night above the dingle starry,
Time let me hail and climb
Golden in the heydays of his eyes,
And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns
And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves
Trail with daisies and barley
Down the rivers of the windfall light…
