On the Grasshopper and Cricket
By
John Keats
The Poetry of earth is never dead:
When all the birds are faint with the hot
sun,
And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run
From hedge to hedge about the new-mown
mead;
That is the Grasshopper’s—he takes the
lead
In summer luxury,—he has never done
With his delights; for when tired out with
fun
He rests at ease beneath some pleasant
weed.
The poetry of earth is ceasing never:
On a lone winter evening, when the
frost
Has wrought a silence, from the stove
there shrills
The Cricket’s song, in warmth increasing
ever,
And seems to one in drowsiness half
lost,
The Grasshopper’s among some grassy
hills.
