The Grasshopper and the Cricket Fragments of John Keats

The Grasshopper and the Cricket

Keats

The poetry of the earth/never dies:

The Grasshopper

< p>When all the birds are faint from the sun,

Hidden in the shady woods, there is a sound

Wandering in the hedges around the freshly cut grass.

That is the music of the Grasshopper! It strives to be first

Intoxicated with the luxury of midsummer, it never feels its joy disappear. Once it sings, When I was tired, I rested comfortably in the middle of the pleasant grass.

The poetry of the earth never stops:

On a lonely/winter night, when the frost condenses/a tranquility springs from the hearth

The song of crickets, in the gradually rising heating,

In drowsiness, people feel that sound

It seems that / it is the grasshopper / chirping on the grassy mountain.
