Tribute To John Keats

Tribute to John Keats  1795-1821 He lies  in a paupers grave Unmarked except for a phase with  this quotation "here lies one whose name was writ in water" Studied at Guys Hospital He was an apothecary  His heart wasn't in his work, though allowed to practise surgery Romantic poems  he did  write His work a constant memory Was too poor to marry his love Fanny Brawne was not to be Keats went to look after his Brother Who was very ill in Rome Contracted T B unfortunately 3 years a grave his home "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" Are words that he had penned His critics vicious with their words Thought to have exasperated the end  Byron wrote about his friend In his work Don Juan That the bad reviews shouldn't Have been the death of him
