    1. Bob Dylan (who actually won the Nobel Prize in Literature) often writes songs that feel like poetry:

     

    > "How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?"

    (from Blowin’ in the Wind)

     

     

     

     

    2. Leonard Cohen, a poet before he was a musician:

     

    > "There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in."

    (from Anthem)

     

     

     

     

    3. W. B. Yeats’ poetry turned into song — his poem Down by the Salley Gardens has been set to music many times:

     

    > "She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

    But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears."

     

     

     

     

    4. Maya Angelou’s words adapted in music — some artists have drawn from her poetry, especially And Still I Rise:

     

    > "You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lies,

    You may trod me in the very dirt, but still, like dust, I’ll rise."
