John Keats (1795-1821) was an English Romantic poet
In this poem, a type of bird called a thrush addresses
the poet and offers advice about the effect nature can
have on poetic inspiration.
What the Thrush Said
by John Keats
O thou whose face hath felt the Winter's wind.
Whose eye has seen the snow-clouds hung in Mist,
And the black Elmtops 'mong the freezing stars:
To thee the Spring will be a harvest-time-
O thou, whose only book has been the light
Of supreme darkness which thou feddest' on
Night after night, when Phoebus2 was away.
To theo the Spring shall be a triple morn-
O fret not after knowledge-I have nono,
And yot my song comos native with the warmth.
