My favorite poet is Kahlil Gibran and really any passage from The Prophet is worth memorizing. Another great poem is this one by yeats called He wishes for the cloths of heaven:
HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. |

In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

Kahlil Gibran is great, and The Prophet is essential reading.
One of my favorite poems I memorized when I was 16:
Sound, sweet song, from some far land.
Sighing softly close at hand,
Now of joy, and now of woe!
Stars are wont to glimmer so.
Sooner thus will good unfold;
Children young and children old
Gladly hear thy numbers flow.
-Goethe |
