When I have Fears that I may Cease to Be
John Keats
1817

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 think 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.
