In no particular order for me:

4. John Keats
5. John Donne

Also, obviously Shakespeare is #1 of all time, so I won't count him

Nocturne

Para vivir es demasiado el tiempo;

Para saber no es nada.
A que vinimos, noche, corazon de la
noche?
No es possible sino sonar, morir,
Sonar que no morimos
Y, a veces, un instante, despertar.
