Daisy's Song
I
The
sun,
with
his
great
eye,
Sees
not
so
much
as
I;
And
the
moon,
all
silver-proud,
Might
as
well
be
in
a
cloud.
II
And
O
the
spring-
the
spring
I
lead
the
life
of
a
king!
Couch'd
in
the
teeming
grass,
I
spy
each
pretty
lass.
III
I
look
where
no
one
dares,
And
I
stare
where
no
one
stares,
And
when
the
night
is
nigh,
John Keats
John Keats (born October 31, 1795, London, England—died February 23, 1821, Rome, Papal States [Italy]) English Romantic lyric poet who devoted his short life to the perfection of a poetry marked by vivid imagery, great sensuous appeal, and an attempt to express a philosophy through classical legend. He is best known for his odes, including "Ode to a Grecian Urn," "Ode to a Nightingale," and his long form poem Endymion. His usage of sensual imagery and statements such as “beauty is truth and truth is beauty” made him a precursor of aestheticism.
