John Keats - On Hearing The Bag-Pipe And Seeing "The Stranger" Played At InveraryJohn Keats - On Hearing The Bag-Pipe And Seeing "The Stranger" Played At Inverary
Work rating: Low


Of late two dainties were before me plac`d Sweet, holy, pure, sacred and innocent, From the ninth sphere to me benignly sent That Gods might know my own particular taste: First the soft Bag-pipe mourn`d with zealous haste, The Stranger next with head on bosom bent Sigh`d; rueful again the piteous Bag-pipe went, Again the Stranger sighings fresh did waste. O Bag-pipe thou didst steal my heart away -- O Stranger thou didst re-assert thy sway -- Again thou Stranger gav`st me fresh alarm -- Alas! I could not choose.  Ah! my poor heart Mum chance art thou with both oblig`d to part.
