DylanLemp2001: I really enjoy John Boyle O'Reilly's poetry. He's a really interesting character, born in Ireland, expelled to Australia for his role in an Irish Republican movement, and then escaped to Boston. Where he wrote many great poems. Here is my personal favorite, The White Rose.

The red rose whispers of passion,

With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
