"The Poetry of Earth is Never Dead:

When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, 
And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run
From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead;


That is the Grasshopper's-- he takes the lead
In summer luxury, --he has never done
With his delights; for when tired out with fun
He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.


The poetry of earth is ceasing never:
On a lone winter evening, when the frost 
Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills 
The Cricket's song, in warmth increasing ever,


And seems to one in drowsiness half lost, 
The Grasshopper's among some grassy hills."

- John Keats
