Bright Star



 Published on April 1818, this was a poem made to the one he was the closest to.The one he really loved Fanny Brawne. This was given to her as his proof of his love to her. He combines his interpretation of beauty in nature to Fanny's beauty. Giving the scenes in nature some human qualities. The bright star resembles her visual beauty and even in night it becomes so clear to him he doesn't have any complaint of it. The moving water shows her task of purification this could refer to Keats lonely life. Finally the snow represents her loyalty that wouldn't change. The original draft was for a previous love interest Isabella Jones, she didn't felt the same as Keats and moved on from each other.
