My favourite poet in English is a relatively unknown fellow called James Elroy Flecker. - Edit 1

He tends to write rather nostalgic, romantic stuff, often connected to Antiquity and/or Islamic culture, being a Classicist and Orientalist by trade, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Possibly not entirely what you like, considering the conspicuous absence of any English-language 18th or 19th century poets in your list, but oh well... 
See link for an anthology of his stuff on Project Gutenberg, although that leaves out his famous Gates of Damascus (well, famous is relative... but Agatha Christie referred to it in one of her books, anyway ), which you can find at http://wonderingminstrels.blogspot.com/2000/08/gates-of-damascus-james-elroy-flecker.html
His most famous poem is probably the first one in the anthology, called "To a Poet A Thousand Years Hence":
"I who am dead a thousand years,
And wrote this sweet archaic song,
Send you my words for messengers
The way I shall not pass along.
I care not if you bridge the seas,
Or ride secure the cruel sky,
Or build consummate palaces
Of metal or of masonry.
But have you wine and music still,
And statues and a bright-eyed love,
And foolish thoughts of good and ill,
And prayers to them who sit above?
How shall we conquer? Like a wind
That falls at eve our fancies blow,
And old Moeonides the blind
Said it three thousand years ago.
O friend unseen, unborn, unknown,
Student of our sweet English tongue,
Read out my words at night, alone:
I was a poet, I was young.
Since I can never see your face,
And never shake you by the hand,
I send my soul through time and space
To greet you. You will understand."
Other than Flecker, I really like the few poems I know by Yeats (his famous two, i.e. "No Second Troy" and that one with the "Things fall apart, the center cannot hold" line of which the title now escapes me), and some really famous stuff like Coleridge's Ancient Mariner that I doubt needs further recommendation.
I could recommend some Dutch poets - you might like some of Achterberg's better religiously themed stuff, and I refuse to believe anyone can dislike van Ostaijen - but I'm afraid there's not much by them that is translated.
