Poetry By John Keats

 

Endymion  ~  A Poetic Romance



           
   
 
  "O Hearkener to the loud clapping shears
While ever and anon to his shorn peers
A ram goes bleating: Winder of the horn,
When snouted wild-boars routing tender corn
Anger our huntsmen: Breather round our farms,
To keep off mildews, and all weather harms:
Strange ministrant of undescribed sounds,
That come a swooning over hollow grounds,
And wither drearily on barren moors:
Dread opener of the mysterious doors
Leading to universal knowledge- see,
Great son of Dryope,
The many that are come to pay their vows
With leaves about their brows!
