When poetry feels like poetry

Some poetry just feels as if it was destined to be written from the beginning of time. Check out this from Lord Byron:

"Once more upon the waters! yet once more!
And the waves bound beneath me as a steed
That knows his rider. Welcome, to their roar!"

(Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Canto 3, 2).
