\nLa Belle Dame Sans Merci<\/b> – John Keats<\/p>\n

Ah, what can ail thee, wretched wight,
\n Alone and palely loitering;
\nThe sedge is wither’d from the lake,
\n And no birds sing. <\/p>\n

Ah, what can ail thee, wretched wight,
\n So haggard and so woe-begone?
\nThe squirrel’s granary is full,
\n And the harvest’s done. <\/p>\n

I see a lily on thy brow,
\n With anguish moist and fever dew;
\nAnd on thy cheek a fading rose
\n Fast withereth too. <\/p>\n

I met a lady in the meads
\n Full beautiful, a faery’s child;
\nHer hair was long, her foot was light,
\n And her eyes were wild. <\/p>\n

I set her on my pacing steed,
\n And nothing else saw all day long;
\nFor sideways would she lean, and sing
\n A faery’s song. <\/p>\n

I made a garland for her head,
\n And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
\nShe look’d at me as she did love,
\n And made sweet moan. <\/p>\n

She found me roots of relish sweet,
\n And honey wild, and manna dew;
\nAnd sure in language strange she said,
\n I love thee true. <\/p>\n

She took me to her elfin grot,
\n And there she gaz’d and sighed deep,
\nAnd there I shut her wild sad eyes–
\n So kiss’d to sleep. <\/p>\n

And there we slumber’d on the moss,
\n And there I dream’d, ah woe betide,
\nThe latest dream I ever dream’d
\n On the cold hill side. <\/p>\n

I saw pale kings, and princes too,
\n Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
\nWho cry’d–“La belle Dame sans merci
\n Hath thee in thrall!” <\/p>\n

I saw their starv’d lips in the gloam
\n With horrid warning gaped wide,
\nAnd I awoke, and found me here
\n On the cold hill side. <\/p>\n

And this is why I sojourn here
\n Alone and palely loitering,
\nThough the sedge is wither’d from the lake,
\n And no birds sing.

Offline a good chunk of today. Psyched about a breakfast date with in the AM. For those of you who ignore evite, scavenging is on Sunday. Hopefully weather will be cooperative. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. Be well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
