"When I have fears that I may cease to be..." - John Keats


He looks over the white cliffs of Dover,
And is reminded of those few days when
He thought of none but his stunning lover:
A young lass he’d seen dancing with the men
She met with him on the eve’ of that ball,
Her hair shining as fine as spun gold thread.
Into a thick, heady love they did fall,
Passion changed the lives they had both lead.
But one day he found her with a for’gner
Both stranger’s and his love’s life he expunged
Now, dressed in black as though set to mourn her
Into the depths with his lass he did plunge.

I wrote this as an assignment, to write a Shakespearean/Elizabethan sonnet for class.
