Lord Byron, George Gordon (1788 – 1824 ),a poet, revolutionary, is regarded as one of the greatest European poets and remains widely read.

 

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes* and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed* to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy* day denies.

 

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 – 1822), a poet, idealist,aetheist,became the idol of the next two or three generations of poets.

Oh , Never More
O world! O life! O time!
On whose last steps I climb,
Trembling at that where I had stood before;
When will return the glory of your prime*?
No more--Oh, never more!.

Out of the day and night
A joy has taken flight;
Fresh spring, and summer, and winter hoar*, 
Move my faint heart with grief, but with delight
No more--Oh, never more!

 

John Keats (1795 – 1821), a poet, a series of his masterpieces remain among the most popular poems in English literature.

Bright Star Would I were steadfast* as thou art -
Not in lone splendor hung aloft* the night, над
And watching, with eternal lids* apart, веки
Like Nature's patient, sleepless eremite*,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution* round earth's human shores, 
Or gazing on the new soft-laden mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors*;
No-yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening* breast,
To feel forever its soft swell* and fall,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever-or else swoon to death*.

From Endimion by John Keats
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 приют
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
