What are some poems or other texts that you think should be put to music? I might use one or two of your answers :)

God damn, that hit me like a brick truck. Maybe someone can sing that, but I don’t think I can.
Have any of Shell Silverman’s poems been set to music? 🤔
WH Auden - Funeral Blues
A solid option; consistent rhyme and meter, well written. Not that it would stop me, but it has been put to music by the great Benjamin Britten. I’m not going to listen to it in case I decide to write my own music, but here’s a performance.
thank you (not !) for sharing. I’ma fan of Benjamin Britten, and I’m a fan (I know I’m sexist, sue me) of young blondes, but that was dreadful.
