Sleep And Poetry, an extract
What is more tranquil than a musk-rose blowing
In a green island, far from all men’s knowing?More healthful than the leafiness of dales?
More secret than a nest of nightingales?More serene than Cordelia’s countenance?
More full of visions than a high romance?What, but thee Sleep? Soft closer of our eyes!
Low murmurer of tender lullabies!
Sleep And Poetry, John Keats - lines 5-12
