Death & Dying

The Poetry of Keats

by George Meredith 1828–1909

From Poems — Volume 1

Death & Dying

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.
