Poetry By John Keats

 

Endymion  ~  A Poetic Romance



           
   
 
  There is a paly flame of hope that plays
Where'er I look: but yet, I'll say 'tis naught-
And here I bid it die. Have not I caught,
Already, a more healthy countenance?
By this the sun is setting; we may chance
Meet some of our near-dwellers with my car."
This said, he rose, faint-smiling like a star
Through autumn mists, and took Peona's hand:
They stept into the boat, and launch'd from land.
