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.
