I love ‘Stop all the Clocks’.
How about this one from ‘Three Short Poems’
“Leaning out over
The dreadful precipice,
One contemptuous tree.”
(W.H Auden)

‘Ewas my Norf, me Souf, me East and West,
Me working week and me Sundy’s rest,
Me moon, me midnight, me talk, me song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
Ah, Auden of York!
