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?
...

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

"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:
...

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
...

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:
...

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


Oh what can ail thee ...
...

When they were come into Faery's Court
They rang -- no one at home -- all gone to sport
And dance and kiss and love as faerys do
For Faries be as human lovers true --
...
