O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing!
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel’s granary is full,
And the harvest’s done.
I see a lily on thy brow,
With anguish moist and fever-dew,
And on thy cheeks a fading rose
Fast withereth too.
I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful, a fairy's child;
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.
I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She looked at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.
I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long,
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery's song.
She found me roots of relish sweet,
And honey wild, and manna-dew,
And sure in language strange she said-
'I love thee true'.
She took me to her Elfin grot,
And there she wept and sighed full sore,
And there I shut her wild, wild eyes
With kisses four.
And there she lullèd me asleep,
And there I dreamed-Ah! woe betide!-
The latest dream I ever dreamt
On the cold hill side.
I saw pale kings and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried-'La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!'
I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gapèd wide,
And I awoke and found me here,
On the cold hill's side.
And this is why I sojourn here,
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.
Lovely the best representation ever for my poetry class...it is simply just as I imagined it to be...and the voice is just right...it's both haunting and enthralling. I was simply overjoyed to find this on RUclips. A very great well done to everyone involved. Thank you so much.
I love Keats' poems. I cannot get enough of teaching this one.
How I wish Alan Rickman had recorded this
You'll get Ben WInshaw and you'll like it.
Thats the the true theory for the beldam from the movie " coraline" im here in 2023 and 2024
2004...inter-collegiate competion..reciting the poetry infront of the sea of students..forgot few words end up with face full of tears and 2nd prize.
Then was naive.The meaning of love was a fairy tale now it is tale but now it is "the very ballad" .Full of agony.
great! i think it covers the tone as it gives gloomy mood and atmosphere, the pics somehow describe the images and the plot, the setting of the poem is also conveyed. Great work
Один из величайших стихов эпохи романтизма.
How wonderful! Love his voice!!
Thank you! Winshaw's voice is very haunting and dulcet - works very well with the tone of the poem.
Ben Wishaw voice is to die for
Lâu lắm rồi mới được nghe lại bài này. Hay lắm ạ 😘
Great video - I was going to show it to my students but then I noticed the misspelling of Whishaw's name...
No words to praise...
I love this poem, unlike other poems, "La Belle Dame sans Merci" is about the past where there were knights and princesses. And because its romantic and mysterious, especially the ambiguous meanings of the poem. Is she actually crying because they belong to different worlds? Or is she crying because the knight is making her feel captured and like a bird in a cage? I wish Literature had more poems not only from these times but from the early centuries where poetry was beginning to form and develop throughout the centuries to see poetry in a more broad way.
This poem was put into song in german language, delightfully sung and played with flutes and harp by the artists of
*Faun*
La belle dame sans merci
I highly recommend..give it a try.
Very nice, but the music is too loud.
Loved keats poems
Good work man
Why does the poet in "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" in stanza 9 changes from dreamed to dreamt?
I miss this kind of youtube videos
Thank you for your reading ! Does somebody know which painting it is at 00:47 ?
it looks like a mixed media photograph to me. I doubt it is pre-raphaelite like the other artwork, probably modern
Beautiful poem ❤️
Beautiful poem
Excellent.
It's my favorite poetry
Wow
.. The way i imagined
❤
It scares me, but I like it🖤
And her eyes were wild...
Merci in French actually means thankyou right? How did it become mercy in English translation?
Because she leaved him alone at the end I suppose (even if it's just a dream). So it's like a play of words... You say Merci in French in order to be grateful and here she didn't thanked him or showed herself grateful for the beautiful moments and leaved him alone at the end, or should I say: without mercy/merci
@@vlsport5833 thank you. A small correction in your reply. "Because she left him"
@@superherobookfan1838 oula yes big mistake ahahaha I didn’t even realize it !
He is an English poet maybe he is found of french
