John Keats - On A DreamJohn Keats - On A Dream
Work rating: Medium


As Hermes once took to his feathers light  When lulled Argus, baffled, swoon`d and slept, So on a Delphic reed my idle spright  So play`d, so charm`d, so conquer`d, so bereft The dragon-world of all its hundred eyes,  And, seeing it asleep, so fled away: Not to pure Ida with its snow-cold skies,  Nor unto Tempe where Jove griev`d a day; But to that second circle of sad hell,  Where `mid the gust, the whirlwind, and the flaw Of rain and hail-stones, lovers need not tell  Their sorrows. Pale were the sweet lips I saw, Pale were the lips I kiss`d, and fair the form I floated with, about that melancholy storm.
