John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

5933 John Keats 1795-1821 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:5933
AUTHOR:John Keats (1795–1821)
QUOTATION:The self-same song that found a path
Through the sad heart of Ruth, when sick for home
She stood in tears amid the alien corn;
  The same that ofttimes hath
Charm’d magic casements, opening on the foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.
ATTRIBUTION:Ode to a Nightingale.
WORKS:John Keats Collection.
