John Keats - Sonnet XV. On The Grasshopper And Cricket
Work rating: Medium

The poetry of earth is never dead:
When all the birds are faint with the hot sun,
And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run
From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead;
That is the Grasshopper`s -- he takes the lead
In summer luxury, -- he has never done
With his delights; for when tired out with fun
He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.
The poetry of earth is ceasing never:
On a lone winter evening, when the frost
Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills
The Cricket`s song, in warmth increasing ever,
And seems to one in drowsiness half lost,
The Grasshopper`s among some grassy hills.
