A verse in English that you know by heart?
I came from the background where all the children were required to learn poems by heart since the very early age. So there’re plenty of them that can be “performed” by every adult.
But when it comes to the world literature – I can recall only “to be or not to be”, some anthems and “take me out to the ball game” 
What about the rest poetry? Any other eminent pieces?
a little update: i mean famous poems – so at least some people know the author
thanks
Jane Taylor wrote the lyrics in 1806.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep,
While you thro’ my window peep,
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
(and here is new verse written by one of our visitors, Mr. Joel Hebets)
Softly shining silver moon,
Peeking at me in my room,
When you’re in the sky at night,
The world around me glows so brightly,
Softly shining silver moon,
If you go, please come back soon.
