               •     Have you ever gone for long walks and observed nature? What do you like about
                   the natural world?

               •   Do you think plants and animals change along with the change of seasons? How?

                     About the Poet


                 John Keats (1795–1821) was an English romantic poet. He was one
                 of the best-known poets of the Romantic era. A few of the most
                 acclaimed works of Keats are ‘I Stood Tip-toe Upon a Little Hill’, ‘Sleep
                 and Poetry’ and the sonnet ‘On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer’.

                  When all the birds are faint with the hot Sun,                            never dead?
