XVIII. 1819. THE day is gone, and all its sweets are gone! Sweet voice, sweet lips, soft hand, and softer breast, Warm breath, light whisper, tender semi-tone, Bright eyes, accomplish'd shape, and lang'rous waist! Faded the flower and all its budded charms, Faded the sight of beauty from my eyes, Faded the shape of beauty from my arms, When the dusk holiday—or holinight Of fragrant-curtain'd love begins to weave XIX. 1819. I CRY your mercy-pity-love!-aye, love! One-thoughted, never-wandering, guileless love, That shape, that fairness, that sweet minor zest Of love, your kiss,-those hands, those eyes divine, That warm, white, lucent, million-pleasured breast,Yourself your soul-in pity give me all, Withhold no atom's atom or I die, Or living on perhaps, your wretched thrall, XX. KEATS'S LAST SONNET. BRIGHT star! would I were steadfast as thou art- Like Nature's patient sleepless Eremite, pure ablution round earth's human shores, Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask Of snow upon the mountains and the moors— Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, Half-passionless, and so swoon on to death.
