What are some famous poems from around the world?

dost thou stand behind them all, lover, hiding thyself in shadows? push thee , pass thee on dusty road, taking thee naught. wait here weary hours spreading fierings thee, while passers-by come , take flowers, 1 one, , basket empty.

morning time past, , noon. in shade of evening eyes drowsy sleep. men going home glance @ me , smile , fill me shame. sit beggar maid, drawing skirt on face, , when ask me, want, drop eyes , answer them not.

oh, how, indeed, tell them thee wait, , thou hast promised come. how utter shame keep dowry poverty. ah, hug pride in secret of heart.

sit on grass , gaze upon sky , dream of sudden splendor of thy coming lights ablaze, golden pennons flying on thy car, , @ roadside standing agape, when see thee come down thy seat raise me dust, , set @ thy side ragged beggar girl a-tremble shame , pride, creeper in summer breeze.

time glides on , still no sound of wheels of thy chariot. many procession passes noise , shouts , glamour of glory. thou wouldst stand in shadow silent , behind them all? , wait , weep , wear out heart in vain longing?
