| dc.description.transcription | To John Keats T'is well you think me truly one of those Whose sense discerns the loveliness of things; For surely as I feel the bird that sings Behind the leaves, or the Kiss asking Rose, Or the rich bee, rejoicing as he goes, Or the glad issue of emerging springs, Or, overhead; the glide of a Dove's wings, Or trees, or turf, or midst of all repose: And surely as I feel things lovelier still, The human look, --and the harmonious form Containing Woman, --and the smile in ill, And such a heart as Charles's, wise and warm,-- As surely as all this, I see e'en [sic] now, Young Keats, a flowering laurel on your brow. Leigh Hunt Hampstead Dec-1-1816 |
