O BLUSH not so! O blush not so! <br /> Or I shall think you knowing; <br />And if you smile the blushing while, <br /> Then maidenheads are going. <br /> <br />There's a blush for want, and a blush for shan't, <br /> And a blush for having done it; <br />There's a blush for thought, and a blush for nought, <br /> And a blush for just begun it. <br /> <br />O sigh not so! O sigh not so! <br /> For it sounds of Eve's sweet pippin; <br />By these loosen'd lips you have tasted the pips <br /> And fought in an amorous nipping. <br /> <br />Will you play once more at nice-cut-core, <br /> For it only will last our youth out, <br />And we have the prime of the kissing time, <br /> We have not one sweet tooth out. <br /> <br />There's a sigh for aye, and a sigh for nay, <br /> And a sigh for "I can't bear it!" <br />O what can be done, shall we stay or run? <br /> O cut the sweet apple and share it!<br /><br />John Keats<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-blush-not-so/
