John Keats - On Visiting The Tomb Of BurnsJohn Keats - On Visiting The Tomb Of Burns
Work rating:
Low
The town, the churchyard, and the setting sun,
The clouds, the trees, the rounded hills all seem,
Though beautiful, cold- strange- as in a dream
I dreamed long ago, now new begun.
The short-liv`d, paly summer is but won
From winter`s ague for one hour`s gleam;
Through sapphire warm their stars do never beam:
All is cold Beauty; pain is never done.
For who has mind to relish, Minos-wise,
The real of Beauty, free from that dead hue
Sickly imagination and sick pride
Cast wan upon it? Burns! with honour due
I oft have honour`d thee. Great shadow, hide
Thy face; I sin against thy native skies.
