    I think that if you are looking for a romantic writer your best bet would be George Gordon, Lord Byron.

    One of his more famous love poems is "She Walks In Beauty".

    If you are truly looking for a romantic poet, Byron is a good place to look.

    T.S., Byron is heralded as one of the greatest love poets of the Romantic era, along with Keats, and Shelley!!! They along long with others fore mentioned in this thread are excellent romantic poetry writer. Who are the others worth knowing, reading???

    I am sure you are familiar with some of the more popular poets: Robert Burns, John Keats, Byron, Tennyson, etc etc so this contributes nothing to this list. Certainly, some of the Medieval composers are among the greatest of poets as well. But now, I would like to mention one particular Spanish poet who captivated my heart: Gustavo Adolfo Becquer. (Neruda has already been mentioned.) His rhymes are amongst the most beautiful I have read.
