When I have Fears That Cease To Be

by J.Keats

When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean’d my teeming brain,
Before high – piled books, in charact’ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen’d grain;
When I behold, upon the night’s starr’d face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And feel that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;’then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think,
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink

by William Shakespeare

Fear no more the heat o’ the sun,
Nor the furious winter’s rages;
