This was a lovely compilation of poems that pulls at the readers' heart and forever leave their mark on the soul.

I noticed another reader said they received this titled book from their mother. I picked up this book from the YMCA in Burnsville and the note inside mentions congratulations on your graduation in 1976. Names are redacted.

The book that I have is slightly different than this one but it isn't listed anywhere else. It is called "Best Loved Poems of all time - Treasured Verses Everyone enjoys" selected by Gail Harano. It is a smaller Hallmark editions (not "Hallmark Crown") and published in 1968.

This is a wonderful book that I will keep forever. I love to read these poems over and over. They are the ones you know and have heard before till you could almost recite them.... they are by John Keats, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, William Wordsworth, Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barret Browning, Robert Burns, William Shakespeare, and Emily Dickinson.... just to name a few.

It has a wonderful selection of poetry, accompanied by quality prints of classic art. I love it; it has helped me memorize a number of poems that I just couldn't get excited over seeing in a smaller, unillustrated book. Here the font size is large and the lines are not crowded. A couple of the poems have been cut (it does not have all of "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray, nor does it have all of "The House by the Side of the Road" by Foss), but most are complete ("Patterns" by Amy Lowell, and "O Captain! My Captain!" by Whitman).
