Digital Interlibrary Loan
When the Library of Congress receives interlibrary loan requests for small
items too fragile to circulate, it scans the items and makes those in the
public domain
available online. Two works of poetry currently online through this process
are:
The angel of the Covenant : a poem complete in three books /
Hamilton, S. (Sarah Jane) Roseburg, Or. : Review Publishing Company, 1886.

Lost Titles, Forgotten Rhymes: Finding Poems

Lyrical Legacy
Lyrical Legacy helps teachers explore eighteen American songs and poems
from the digital collections of the Library of Congress. Each song and poem
is represented by an original primary source document, along with historical
background information and, in many cases, sound recordings and alternate
versions.
Making Connections Through Poetry
Making Connections through Poetry: Finding the Heart in History allows students to review and analyze primary sources and then synthesize the information and create poetry based on what they have learned. Students can print out their poems and the primary sources on which they are based and teachers can compile the poems and make chapter books that can be shared with students, other teachers and parents.
