'Here lies one whose name was writ in water' <br /> John Keats <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Foul relentless death <br /> Sly and cunning <br /> Oft comes <br /> When least expected. <br /> <br /> John Keats died young <br /> Fearing that endeavours of his Muse <br /> Would never become a constant monument. <br /> <br /> He thought cruel death <br /> Would eclipse elusive fame <br /> And his skylark never inspire <br /> Echoing down the years so sweetly.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/john-keats-2/
