上海龙凤shlf最新地址Poem: On The Sale By Auction Of Keats' Love Letters
These are the letters which Endymion wrote
To one he loved in secret, and apart.
And now the brawlers of the auction mart
Bargain and bid for each poor blotted note,
Ay! for each separate pulse of passion quote
The merchant's price. I think they love not art
Who break the crystal of a poet's heart
上海龙凤shlf最新地址That small and sickly eyes may glare and gloat.
Is it not said that many years ago,
In a far Eastern town, some soldiers ran
上海龙凤shlf最新地址With torches through the midnight, and began
上海龙凤shlf最新地址To wrangle for mean raiment, and to throw
上海龙凤shlf最新地址Dice for the garments of a wretched man,
Not knowing the God's wonder, or His woe?
