Question

My 8th grade class are learning about poetry. my teacher wants me to recite any poem that has 67 words or more and easily memorize in one week. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

The poem Ozymandias by: Percy B Shelly. As a matter of fact, I had to learn this in the 8th grade.


Anyways here's the poem:


I met a traveler from an antique land,

Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Answer 2

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

I shot an arrow into the air
It fell to Earth I know not where
For so swiftly it flew that sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air
It fell to Earth I know not where
For who has eyes so keen and strong
That they can follow the flight of a song?

Long, long afterward in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke
And the song, from beginning to end
I found again in the heart of a friend.
