Resource sought: Actual bard songs/poems made for in-game use

[Driddle]

Has anyone found (or started on their own) a site for collecting poems, songs, etc. appropriate for a bard's use. In-character gaming flourish. Anyone here?

Every so often I'll see a thread wherein someone will mention the beginning lines, or recite a silly lymeric for chuckles. But not much more than that. You'd think by now there would be a more unified "bard's college" or library online as a shared resource.

Give this one a shot - Cantaria

Some of it is more modern, but a lot of it still works.

Oh no. I don't want my bard players to sing. I've heard them sing, I have no interest in hearing it again. This isn't Eberron Idol, It's D&D. If the GM really needs an in-game song, try just writing some free-verse poetry and reading it gently.

In this thread, starting around the seventh post, we started coming up with little limerics that could help.

Anything more extensive though, I haven't seen.

Seems like a challenge that ought to be taken up. (By someone else, natch! ) A genuine bard's college library, with sections of material appropriate for Songs of Courage, Fascinate, etc. Subdivided by genres -- humorous, tragic, light-hearted, gawd-awful lymrics... Maybe even a special area for music sound clips or suggested listening.

Darn, I wish I had the energy and time to do that. Sounds like fun.
