SONNET WRITTEN AT THE END OF THE FLOURE AND THE LEFE, by JOHN KEATS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: This pleasant tale is like a little copse Last Line: Were heard of none beside the mournful robins. Subject(s): Chaucer, Geoffrey (1342-1400) | |||
THIS pleasant tale is like a little copse: The honied lines do freshly interlace To keep the reader in so sweet a place, So that he here and there full-hearted stops; And oftentimes he feels the dewy drops Come cool and suddenly against his face, And by the wandering melody may trace Which way the tender-legged linnet hops. Oh! what a power hath white Simplicity! What mighty power has this gentle story! I that for ever feel athirst for glory Could at this moment be content to lie Meekly upon the grass, as those whose sobbings Were heard of none beside the mournful robins. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHAUCERS WORDES UNTO ADAM, HIS OWN SCRIVEYN by GEOFFREY CHAUCER THE CHARACTER OF A GOOD PARSON by GEOFFREY CHAUCER THE COCK AND THE FOX, OR THE TALE OF THE NUN'S PRIEST by GEOFFREY CHAUCER THE GOLDEN TARGE by WILLIAM DUNBAR WORD-PORTRAITS: THE DESCRIPTION OF SIR GEOFFREY CHAUCER by ROBERT GREENE CHAUCER; SONNET by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW IMITATION OF CHAUCER by ALEXANDER POPE A DREAM OF FAIR WOMEN by ALFRED TENNYSON INSCRIPTIONS: 2.
