Lucid are the wild silver keys
Past the fountain of tears of youth
Where the spirit drinks
Ecstasy, till the brain is wide-away
To put to sleep a thousand fears
That once tormented us hourly
O’ like a drowsy child is now
Laid to rest in flowers of sunshine
Thou who were the ‘food of Love’
Talk to me sweetly of the stars again –
That I grew in thee with Music murmuring
Till the sweet self measures divinity
Every word a fragment from the golden shelf
Where the world’s great age begins anew
In each young person’s dissolving dream of soul.

Great first line. Whatever more could you tell me about those lucid silver keys?
You’d have to ask Shelley and Maybe Keats, but sadly they died young 😛
Romanticism is dead, except for the young.
For them it never dies,
For hearts remain forever
In youth’s clasp.
