  • Alternative iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter

O my Luve's like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June;

O my Luve's like the melodie

That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in luve am I:

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

Till a' the seas gang dry:

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt wi' the sun:

I will luve thee still, my dear,

While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only Luve

And fare thee well, a while!

And I will come again, my Luve,

Tho' it were ten thousand mile.

The well-taught philosophic mind

To all compassion gives;

Casts round the world an equal eye,

And feels for all that lives.

If mind,--as ancient sages taught,--

A never dying flame,

Still shifts through matter's varying forms,

In every form the same;

Beware, lest in the worm you crush,

A brother's soul you find;

And tremble lest thy luckless hand

Dislodge a kindred mind.

Or, if this transient gleam of day

Be all of life we share,

Let pity plead within thy breast

That little all to spare.

So may thy hospitable board

With health and peace be crowned;

And every charm of heartfelt ease

Beneath thy roof be found.

So when destruction lurks unseen,

Which men, like mice, may share,

May some kind angel clear thy path,

And break the hidden snare.

O hear a pensive prisoner's prayer,

For liberty that sighs;

And never let thine heart be shut

Against the wretch's cries!

For here forlorn and sad I sit,

Within the wiry grate;

And tremble at the' approaching morn,

Which brings impending fate.

If e'er thy breast with freedom glowed,

And spurned a tyrant's chain,

Let not thy strong oppressive force

A free-born mouse detain!

O do not stain with guiltless blood

Thy hospitable hearth!

Nor triumph that thy wiles betrayed

A prize so little worth.

The scattered gleanings of a feast

My frugal meals supply;

But if thine unrelenting heart

That slender boon deny,--

The cheerful light, the vital air,

Are blessings widely given;

Let Nature's commoners enjoy

The common gifts of Heaven

William Blake (Pgs. 1451-1487)

William Wordsworth (Pgs. 1532-1641)

Four Major Romantic Poets

Biography (Pg. 1532)

Biography (Pg. 1451)

  • William Wordsworth was born on 7 April 1770 in Cumbria.
  • Both Wordsworth's parents died before he was 15, and he and his four siblings were left in the care of different relatives.
  • As a young man, Wordsworth developed a love of nature.
  • Two of his children died, his brother was drowned at sea and Dorothy suffered a mental breakdown.
  • His political views underwent a transformation around the turn of the century, and he became increasingly conservative,
  • William Blake was born in London on November 28, 1757.
  • Two of his six siblings died in infancy.
  • From early childhood, Blake spoke of having visions—at four he saw God “put his head to the window”; around age nine, while walking through the countryside, he saw a tree filled with angels.
  • He learned to read and write at home.
  • He declared in one poem, “I must create a system or be enslaved by another man’s.”

  • William Blake (1757-1827)

  • Robert Burns (1759-1796)

  • William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

She dwelt among the untrodden ways

Beside the springs of Dove,

A Maid whom there were none to praise

And very few to love:

A violet by a mossy stone

Half hidden from the eye!

—Fair as a star, when only one

Is shining in the sky.

She lived unknown, and few could know

When Lucy ceased to be;

But she is in her grave, and, oh,

The difference to me!

O Rose thou art sick.

The invisible worm,

That flies in the night

In the howling storm:

Has found out thy bed

Of crimson joy:

And his dark secret love

Does thy life destroy.

Romantic Age (pgs. 1411-1939)

  • After the Restoration Age and before the Victorian Age.
  • The shortest period in British literary history, but very complex.
  • Focused on imagination, freedom of thought and expression, and the idealization of nature.
