@rjbs Definitely a contender. “The Raven” might best it though. - 4 more replies

@mendel I'd put "Cremation of Sam McGee" up against In Flanders Fields, because I think every states side schoolchild learns the former. -
@rjbs hm yeah. And Flanders is all over every news thing every Remembrance Day here, still a big deal - 5 more replies

@mendel Defence of Fort McHenry. It's the source of our national anthem. -
@thedoh It gets really messy when you get into songs, or poems that became songs, though. - 1 more reply
