    Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me.

    We ... are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.

    SomewhereSomething

    I stand amid the roar
    Of a surf-tormented shore,
    And I hold within my hand
    Grains of the golden sand--
    How few! yet how they creep
    Through my fingers to the deep,
    While I weep- while I weep!
    O God! can I not grasp
    Them with a tighter clasp?
    O God! can I not save
    One from the pitiless wave?
    (From A Dream Within A Dream, an Edgar Allan Poe poem)

    These are my favourite lines right now, but I couldn't tell you what the greatest single line of poetry ever written is. I doubt anyone would agree on that. I love your question though.
