One is called 101 Famous Poems (2004). It was originally published in 1958. I can't quite figure out when this copy was published, but it looks very new. The lending library got it in 2004.
It's neat to see what were famous poems 50 years ago. There is a lot you would expect -- Shakespeare and Whitman and Poe. There are a few women -- Dickinson, Barret Browning, Millay. There are some weird additions -- the Gettysburg Address, the Declaration of Independence, the Ten Commandments, the Magna Carta.
There were also poets I'd never heard of, poems I'd never heard of. There was a poem by Sidney Lanier, who I didn't think anyone knew outside of Georgia. Indeed, I'm always tempted to write "Lake Sidney Lanier." Poor guy.
The other text, Western Wind: And Introduction to Poetry, by David Mason and John Frederick Nims, is really cool. It starts with the medieval poem "Blow Thou Western Wind," which I love, and had not thought about in a long time.
Westron wind, when wilt thou blow?
That the small rain down can rain.
Christ, that my love were in my arms,
And I in my bed again.
