- ON DEATH
- Assigned by George Keats to the year 1814, and first printed in Forman's edition, 1883.
- Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream,
- And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by?
- The transient pleasures as a vision seem,
- And yet we think the greatest pain 's to die.
- How strange it is that man on earth should roam,
- And lead a life of woe, but not forsake
- His rugged path; nor dare he view alone
- His future doom, which is but to awake.
