John Keats Poems

Bards of Passion and of Mirth,
Ye have left your souls on earth!
Have ye souls in heaven too,
Double lived in regions new?
...

High-mindedness, a jealousy for good,
A loving-kindness for the great man's fame,
Dwells here and there with people of no name,
In noisome alley, and in pathless wood:
...

HITHER hither, love---
'Tis a shady mead---
Hither, hither, love!
Let us feed and feed!
...

Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,


Oh what can ail thee ...
...

"Dark eyes are dearer far
Than those that mock the hyacinthine bell."

Blue! 'Tis the life of heaven,—the domain
...

Asleep! O sleep a little while, white pearl!
And let me kneel, and let me pray to thee,
And let me call Heaven’s blessing on thine eyes,
...

IN drear-nighted December,
Too happy, happy tree,
Thy branches ne'er remember
Their green felicity:
...

Give me your patience, sister, while I frame
Exact in capitals your golden name;
Or sue the fair Apollo and he will
...

From BOOK I


A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
...

I
You say you love ; but with a voice
Chaster than a nun's, who singeth
...
