Un soneto de Keats

Cuando me asalta el miedo de morir

antes de la cosecha de mi fecunda mente,

antes de que los libros apilados

guarden como graneros el grano ya maduro;

cuando miro en el rostro de la noche estrellada

los símbolos enormes y nubosos de una pasión altiva

y pienso 

                 que ya no he de vivir jamás para trazar

sus sombras con la mano mágica del azar;

y cuando siento, hermosa criatura de una hora,

que ya no he de mirarte nunca más

ni sentir el deleite en la potencia mágica

del amor arrebatado, 

                                          entonces a la orilla

del ancho mundo quedo solo y pienso

hasta que Amor y Fama en la Nada se hunden.

When I have fears that I may cease to be

Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high-piled books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love; - then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
