EXTRACTS FROM AN OPERA: 4. SONG, by JOHN KEATS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The stranger lighted from his steed Last Line: Again on his fair palfrey. | ||||||||
I. The stranger lighted from his steed, And ere he spake a word, He seiz'd my lady's lilly hand, And kiss'd it all unheard. II. The stranger walk'd into the hall, And ere he spake a word, He kiss'd my lady's cherry lips, And kiss'd 'em all unheard. III. The stranger walk'd into the bower,-- But my lady first did go,-- Aye hand in hand into the bower, Where my lord's roses blow. IV. My lady's maid had a silken scarf, And a golden ring had she, And a kiss from the stranger, as off he went Again on his fair palfrey. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EXTRACTS FROM AN OPERA: 2.
