Now, this poem has been a favorite of mine ever since I first encountered it, as a freshman in college. The wordplay and word pairs in each line are delicious.

So this is often a sonnet I'll look for, for individual readings on YouTube. When I first started searching I was struck that the videos made of it were most often from Russian and German accounts.

Not surprising. But it does make a point, and I think the vloggers who make their own "fanvids" of this poem, even though English is their second (or third, or fourth) language, have a better sense of the poem's meaning than the "official" study guides I've seen from American publishers.
