Summary THE LADY OF SHALOTT by LORD TENNYSON


The island of Shalott was situated in a river. There were many fields on either side of the river. Through the fields a road ran to the city of Camelot which had many towers. People walked up and down on the road and the river also flowed down to the Camelot. On the island the Lady of Shalott lived alone. No one had ever seen her. She had never come to the window. Only the farmers sometimes heard her song and called her the Lady of Shalott. 

Summary TO AUTUMN by JOHN KEATS

'To Autumn' is a perfect and flawless ode of Keats. It is the briefest of his odes and a purely objective and descriptive poem. There are no personal feelings, no questions, no conflicts. It consists of only three stanzas and the development of thought is perfectly logical and systematic. The first stanza describes the ripe fruits of autumn, the second describes the work of the season and the third deals with its music. The poem presents three complete and concrete pictures of autumn. The poet loves nature in all moods and seasons. He can find beauty even in autumn and even this season can cheer and inspire him. 


Summary SPIRIT OF DELIGHT by P. B. SHELLEY

SHELLEY is it in very sad mood in the poem. He invokes The spirit of Joy. He feels that the spirit of delight has left him. He does not know why it has left him. His days and nights are dull and sad. He does not know how to call it back again. It lives with happy people and keeps away from pain and sorrow. It has deceived the poet. It has completely forgotten him. It lives with the happy people who do not need it at all. 





Summary THE CLOUD by P. B. SHELLEY

The cloud is in love with the flowers, leaves and buds. It brings fresh showers of rain from the seas and streams for the thirsty flowers. At noon, it provides cool shade to the leaves when they seem to be drooping in sleep and dreaming of water. The earth dances around the sun and sends flowers and buds to sleep. In the morning, the cloud wakes them up from sleep by shaking due-droops from its wings. 




Summary TO MY SISTER by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

The poem is addressed to Wordsworth's younger sister, Dorothy Wordsworth. He urged her to come out into the open lap of nature. She can learn more from nature then from her books.

She should bring no book with her because the day is to be spent in idleness. 





Summary STRAY PLEASURE by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

The poem point out that the earth is full of pleasure. There are stray gifts of pleasures spread through the earth. Anyone who wants, can find them scattered here and there. The poet believes that pleasure is not far to seek. Anyone, who seeks it, finds it easily anywhere and everywhere.
