उत्तर
A thing of be'auty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will n'ever
Pass into n'othin'gne'ss, but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health and quiet bre'athin'g.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wr'eathing
A flowery band to bi'nd us to the earth,
Spite of des'ponde'nce, of the inhuman de′arth
