Song of Hiawatha by Longfellow.
For long poems, the lyrical poets are better
because they are rhythmic like songs,
and flow well, so the length is not burdensome.
Tale of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Because this tells an engaging story
that makes it easier to follow through to the end.

Crossroads Lyrics
Send Tracy Chapman polyphonic ringtone to your cell phone
All you folks think you own my life
But you never made any sacrifice
Demons they are on my trail
I'm standing at the crossroads of the hell
I look to the left I look to the right
There're hands that grab me on every side
All you folks think I got my price
At which I'll sell all that is mine
You think money rules when all else fails
Go sell your soul and keep your shell
I'm trying to protect what I keep inside
All the reasons why I live my life
Some say the devil be a mystical thing
I say the devil he a walking man
He a fool he a liar conjurer and a thief
He try to tell you what you want
Try to tell you what you need
Standing at the point
The road it cross you down
What is at your back
Which way do you turn
Who will come to find you first
Your devils or your gods
All you folks think you run my life
Say I should be willing to compromise
I say all you demons go back to hell
I'll save my soul save myself

Longfellow wrote beautiful poems. They are long and he made thousands of them.
Edgar Allen Poe also, he did the famous Raven poem. They even did a Simpsons show about the Raven Poem.

Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" is the longest i can think of at the moment - but it would probably take hours not minutes!

Are you looking for something to recite in public? Try "The Song of Hiawatha" by Longfellow.
You can use part of it.
