How about Carl Sandburg??? He's got too many poems to remember...

You have uncle Walt...
Although I don't really enjoy her work too much, Maya Angelou should be put on there...

There's a couple to start with

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

I think Edgar Allen Poe is also under copyright so you can't publish anything of his without his heirs permission.

You should check on that list to see if anyone would object. You could get in big trouble infringing on someone's copyright.
