I think "Tintern Abbey" was voted all-time best poem in English around the 
turn of the last century, Chris.  I don't remember any details.  Anyway, I 
think it's the best extended lyric I know.  And a contender for the best 
poem of any kind I know.  Actually, it'd probably finish in a tie with 
twenty or thirty other poems, such as "lighght."  (And, ugh, "tundra!")
