Hey, I quite like Enoch Arden, particularly when the last line is omitted.
But then I still enjoy parts of Idyls of the King, particularly the
Passing of Arthur.  How's this:

   and from them rose
   A cry that shivered to the tingling stars,
   And, as it were one voice, an agony
   Of lamentation, like a wind that shrills
   All night in a waste land, where no one comes,
   Or hath come, since the making of the world.

Of course Tennyson had never heard Schoenberg.
