Keat's Sonnets:
When I have fears
that I may cease to be
   
  Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain, 
   
Before high piled books, in charactry,
  Hold like
rich garners the full-ripen'd grain; 
When I behold,
upon the night's starr'd face,
  Huge cloudy
symbols of a high romance, 
And think that I
may never live to trace 
  Their
shadows, with the magic hand of chance; 
And when I feel,
fair creature of an hour,
Never have relish
in the faery power 
  Of
unreflecting love; -- then on the shore 
Of the wide world
I stand alone, and think
Till Love and Fame
to nothingness do sink.
O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell,
            Let
it not be among the jumbled heap
            Of
murky buildings; climb with me the steep,—
Nature's observatory—when the dell,
            May
seem a span; let me thy vigils keep
            'Mongst
boughs pavillion'd where the deer's swift
            leap
Startles the wild bee from the fox-glove bell.
But though I'll gladly trace these scenes with
thee,
            Yet
the sweet converse of an innocent mind,
            Whose
words are images of thoughts refin'd,
Is my soul's pleasure; and it sure must be
            Almost
the highest bliss of human-kind,
When to thy haunts two kindred spirits
flee.
