An Answer to “Happy Insensibil- ity,” by John Keats Helen Souden, F 32 Oh. bard, that thou shouldst harbor such a thought, That winter casts oblivion on the spring! When summers blissful, golden hours fraught With love arc flown on winter’s icy wing, Wouldst thou deny the trees and frozen stream, Stripped of their glory, desolate, forlorn, The sweet remembrance of a long past dream That nurtures hope that it may be reborn? What thinkst thou keeps alive those bare, gaunt trees Which late did move thy heart with holy truth, If lost is even sweet pain of memories And age is unhaunted by the ghost of youth? And where lives there the man who would not bear The momentary pain that follows joy, To carry with him through his years of care The misty image of himself, a boy? ge is itself a barren interlude, Yet mingled in remembered ecstasy And softened by the days of solitude Man’s winter may his richest season be.
