The full text of Elizabeth Alexander’s poem, “Praise Song for the Day” can be found here. Take a look at other inauguration poems:
Robert Frost’s “Dedication” and “The Gift Outright“
Miller Williams’s “Of History and Hope“
Maya Angelou’s “On the Pulse of Morning“
We would be remiss if we didn’t also acknowledge President Barack Obama’s poems, “Pop” and “Underground.”
