Poet Analysis

First Line: THE SONG OF A NIGHTINGALE SENT THRO' A SLUMBROUS VALLEY
Last Line: THAT WINS IMMORTALITY EVEN WHILE PANTING DELIRIOUS WITH DEATH.
Subject(s): KEATS, JOHN (1795-1821); POETRY & POETS;

THE song of a nightingale sent thro' a slumbrous valley,
Low-lidded with twilight, and tranced with the dolorous sound,
Tranced with a tender enchantment; the yearning of passion
That wins immortality even while panting delirious with death.
