My favorite first-lines in poetry are the first two lines of Hopkins' Inversnaid:
This darksome burn, horseback brown,
His rollrock highroad roaring down

It's just got such a powerful rhythm and makes the poem immediatly so solid and atmospheric - something to read out loud. And I think the rest of the poem is great too.
