"A Red, Red Rose" by Robert Burns

"O, my luve's like a red, red rose,

That's newly sprung in June:

O, my luve's like the melodie,

That's sweetly play'd in tune."

This timeless poem compares love to the beauty and popularity of a red rose. The simplicity and depth of this verse continue to stir emotions in hearts even today.

"Daffodils" by William Wordsworth

"I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host of golden daffodils."

Wordsworth’s Daffodils sheds light on nature’s beauty in the most mesmerising manner. The image of a field of golden daffodils dancing in the breeze has the power to alleviate the poet's feelings of gloom and loneliness and to consider himself to be a part of nature.

"The Rose That Grew from Concrete" by Tupac Shakur

"Did you hear about the rose that grew

from a crack in the concrete?

Proving nature's law is wrong it

learned to walk without having feet."

This affectionate poem uses the metaphor of a rose growing in challenging circumstances to highlight the perseverance and ability of humans to keep on moving, despite the unpleasant situations and hardships. 

"The Flower" by George Herbert

"Who would have thought my shrivel'd heart

Could have recover'd greennesse?"

‘The Flower’ is a short, powerful reflection on the potential of the human heart to heal and find hope, much like a flower's ability to bloom again, once the favourable conditions return.

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep."

Though it’s not your typical floral poem, it evokes an image of the serene beauty of a snowy forest, making our minds lost in nature’s wonders but then go on with our day-to-day responsibilities in life.
