Solution
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health and quiet

wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
