TO LEIGH HUNT, ESQ., by JOHN KEATS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Glory and loveliness have passed away Last Line: With these poor offerings, a man like thee. Variant Title(s): Dedication To Leigh Hunt, Esq Subject(s): Hunt, Leigh (1784-1859) | |||
Glory and Loveliness have passed away; For if we wander out in early morn, No wreathed incense do we see upborne Into the east, to meet the smiling day: No crowd of nymphs soft voic'd and young, and gay, In woven baskets bringing ears of corn, Roses, and pinks, and violets, to adorn The shrine of Flora in her early May. But there are left delights as high as these, And I shall ever bless my destiny, That in a time, when under pleasant trees Pan is no longer sought, I feel a free, A leafy luxury, seeing I could please, With these poor offerings, a man like thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET: LEIGH HUNT by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE TO LEIGH HUNT, ON AN OMISSION IN HIS 'FEAST OF THE POETS' by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR LETTER TO MARIA GISBORNE by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY TO - (4) by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY ANOTHER CYNICAL VARIATION by UNKNOWN+48 A DREAM, AFTER READING DANTE'S EPISODE OF PAULO & FRANCESCA by JOHN KEATS EXTRACTS FROM AN OPERA: 2.
