I love when people link to poems, because then I get to read new ones!
My candle burns brightly at both ends It will not last the night but ah, my foes, and oh my friends it gives a lovely light
Frost's A Peck of Gold: "But I was one of the children told / Some of the dust was really gold."
Also, his "Neither Out Far nor in Deep."
The beginning of Tennyson's "Two Voices" and the second part of his "Ode to the Duke of Wellington."
The ending to Swinburne's A Forsaken Garden
I have a tendency to memorize the poems I like the best, which makes the list both easy and hard: easy because I could just type them, hard because I often forget the actual name of the poem.
