From life to life, must still pursue Now, in humbler, happier lot, From you he only dares to crave, The artist who this idol wrought, star, The artist wrought this loved Guitar, The softest notes of falling rills, 1822. 1832-1833. LINES: "WHEN THE LAMP IS SHATTERED" WHEN the lamp is shattered As music and splendor No song when the spirit is mute :- Like the wind through a ruined cell, 24 When hearts have once mingled Love first leaves the well-built nest, The weak one is singled To endure what it once possessed. O Love! who bewailest The frailty of all things here, Why choose you the frailest For your cradle, your home, and your bier? Its passions will rock thee As the storms rock the ravens on high : Leave thee naked to laughter, When leaves fall and cold winds come. 1822. 1824. SONG FROM CHARLES THE FIRST A WIDOW bird sate mourning for her love Upon a wintry bough; The freezing stream below. LIST OF REFERENCES EDITIONS **COMPLETE WORKS, 4 volumes, edited by H.

IMITATION OF SPENSER1 KEATS It seem'd an emerald in the silver sheen Of the bright waters; or as when on high, Through clouds of fleecy white, laugh the cerulean sky. And all around it dipp'd luxuriously Slopings of verdure through the glossy tide, Which, as it were in gentle amity, Rippled delighted up the flowery side; As if to glean the ruddy tears, it tried, Which fell profusely from the rose-tree stem! Haply it was the workings of its pride, In strife to throw upon the shore a gem Outvieing all the buds in Flora's diadem. 1813 or 1814. 1817.1 |
