Sorry for the spam of famous works, but I quite like that one too:
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.–

I actually came upon this on my own, the other day. There is a song called Sonnet by the band Hundred Waters that uses a Shelley poem. For Ozymandias, I prefer the Smith version, actually. PS- Is there any way to format on Hubski?
