A poem which incorporates the opening lines of some of the most famous poems in Western literature.
Once upon a midnight dreary, I wandered lonely as a cloud;
I met a traveller from an antique land, who said:
Two roads diverge in a yellow wood, half a league onward.
In Xanadu ’twas brilig- and all through the house
The wind was a torrent by the dawn’s early light.
If you had world enough and time,
Then gather ye rosebuds while ye may;
April is the cruelest month,
Season of mists and mellow
Fruit of that forbidden tree.
So how shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
O Captain! my Captain! Let me count the ways!
