TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN KEATS, by JOHN CLARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The world, its hopes, and fears, have passed away Last Line: Thy name with him shall linger, and be dear. Subject(s): Keats, John (1795-1821); Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
The world, its hopes, and fears, have passed away; No more its trifling thou shalt feel or see; Thy hopes are ripening in a brighter day, While these left buds thy monument shall be. When Rancor's aims have past in nought away, Enlarging specks discerned in more than thee, And beauties 'minishing which few display, -- When these are past, true child of Poesy, Thou shalt survive -- Ah, while a being dwells, With soul, in Nature's joys, to warm like thine, With eye to view her fascinating spells, And dream entranced o'er each form divine, Thy worth, Enthusiast, shall be cherished here, -- Thy name with him shall linger, and be dear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
