Poems by famous poets

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. ("The Riddle Of Strider", a poem by Bilbo Baggins in honour of Aragorn, written when Aragorn first revealed his true identity to Bilbo).

William Blake, The Smile

That’s by Henry van Dyke, an American author born in 1852. So to call it Shakespeare is off by almost 300 years and a continent.
