EXTRACTS FROM AN OPERA: 2. DAISY'S SONG by JOHN KEATS

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE SUN, WITH HIS GREAT EYE
Last Line: LAMBS BLEAT MY LULLABY.
Subject(s): DAISIES; FLOWERS; SPRING;
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,
Lambs bleat my lullaby.
