Poems

1819

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains / My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,

1819

Thou still unravished bride of quietness, / Thou foster-child of silence and slow time,

1818

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: / Its loveliness increases; it will never

1819

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, / Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;

1819

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art - / Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

1819

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, / Alone and palely loitering?
