I love this French edition for going with a more meaningful cover image. It may seem incongruous at first but I think the quiet country farmhouse captures some of the nostalgia in the poems better than any couple making out on a park bench could.

There are many text-only cover treatments but this one has a thoughtfulness and elegance that's rare.
Though it's of the awful "Shakespeare's face and book title" variety, this German edition at least pulls it off with solid design.
