Keen Fitful Gusts are Whispering Here and There. By Keats, John. Keen fitful gusts are whispering here and there Among the bushes, half leafless and dry; The stars look very cold about the sky, And I have many miles on foot to fare; Yet feel I little of the cool bleak air, Or of the dead leaves rustling drearily, Or of those silver lamps that burn on high, Or of the distance from home's pleasant lair: For I am brimfull of the friendliness That in a little cottage I have found; Of fair-haired Milton's eloquent distress, And all his love for gentle Lycid drowned; Of lovely Laura in her light green dress, And faithful Petrarch gloriously crowned.
