I attended for 8 years through the 50's into 61. Seems like I got a well rounded education. One of the things I remember was English class where starting in the early grades and thru 8th grade we studied/learned poetry. I still remember a few.
Here is a couple.

We learned the shorter version.
Any of you old country coots have to learn some classic poetry at a young age?
Worst part of this I can remember a lot of it but don't remember what I did yesterday.
