Happy Halloween!

Here are some poems to help you celebrate:

This one is about a man who encounters a beautiful magical spirit, and spends the rest of his life seeking her:
"The Song of the Wandering Aengus" by W.B. Yeats

"The Ballad of the Harp Weaver" by Edna St Vincent Millay is about a poverty-stricken mother and son.  It is traditionally a Christmas poem, but has a sort of spooky Halloween feel to it, too.
