Let it not be among the jumbled heap
Of murky buildings; climb with me the steep, —
Nature’s observatory — whence the dell,
Its flowery slopes, its river’s crystal swell,
May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep
‘Mongst boughs pavillion’d, where the deer’s swift leap
Startles the wild bee from the fox-glove bell.
But though I’ll gladly trace these scenes with thee,
Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind,
Whose words are images of thoughts refin’d,
Is my soul’s pleasure; and it sure must be
Almost the highest bliss of human-kind,
When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee.

This is a hilarious poem. John Keats is saying he would rather life in nature alone ( with a chic as he says in the last line, ” Almost the highest bliss of human-kind, / When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee”) then to live in the city. Romantic poems have all the same themes. Yeah?
