Great languages for poetry

I don't mean to consider which languages are the best for writing poetry in, since you would need to be equally familiar with all languages.  But which ones have, so far, yielded the best poetry?  Poetry is important in cultural identity and in expressing the beauty of language, philosophy, emotion.

Persian, Latin, Italian, Classical Greek, English, Japanese, Arabic, Chinese, and Hebrew come to mind.

I don't see how you can leave out French, German, Spanish and Russian.

Since that rounds out all the languages I've ever studied, I think I conclude that great poetry can be written in any language whatsoever.

Old Norse, of course! How could you forget... Got a thick book crammed with this stuff at my shelf. Really a shame i can't really read it, but at least they say it's very sophisticated 

Norman influence gave many nouns, like pork, beef, dame.  But the majority of words created in the last 600 yrs are from graeco-latin origin.  Modern English has hundreds of thousands of words, whereas English during the Norman times was far more limited.  Along with this most suffixes/prefixes are latin/greek.  Shakespeare alone invented scores of words and essentially all of them were from classic origin, or derived from it.
