A personal favourite of mine, by Coleridge :- http://www.orgs.miamioh.edu/anthologies/bijou/vissat/Workwithouthope.htm http://www.orgs.miamioh.edu/anthologies/bijou/vissat/Workwit... Why? Because in the movie Groundhog Day, when Phil Connors has had his moment of enlightenment/peripety, he quotes : "And winter, slumbering in the open air, Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!" Knowing this poem makes the film better. Knowing how widely popular Coleridge became makes the poem better.
