John Keats - Sonnet X. To One Who Has Been Long In City PentJohn Keats - Sonnet X. To One Who Has Been Long In City Pent
Work rating: Low


To one who has been long in city pent,         `Tis very sweet to look into the fair         And open face of heaven -- to breathe a prayer     Full in the smile of the blue firmament.     Who is more happy, when, with heart`s content,         Fatigued he sinks into some pleasant lair         Of wavy grass, and reads a debonair     And gentle tale of love and languishment?     Returning home at evening, with an ear         Catching the notes of Philomel,-- an eye     Watching the sailing cloudlet`s bright career,         He mourns that day so soon has glided by:     E`en like the passage of an angel`s tear         That falls through the clear ether silently.
