Dead Poets

Which famous poet - now deceased - wrote the following lines?


1Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death.
2Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
3Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
4But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness,
5Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
6But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
7Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
8To keep your marriage brimming With love in the loving cup, Whenever you’re wrong, admit it; Whenever you’re right, shut up.
9f the moon smiled, she would resemble you. You leave the same impression Of something beautiful, but annihilating.
10And into my garden stole. When the night had veiled the pole; In the morning glad I see, My foe outstretchd beneath the tree.
