Tone • Remorse, Solemn, and Regretful • Examples include: “cease to be”, “never live”, and “unreflecting love” • The narrator is someone who is questioning how he has spent his life. He knows that if his life were to end, he would have missed out on so many things.

The nail in the coffin!! • In this poem, Keats has used a vast selection of moods and somber wording to take us into his world of regret and sadness. • Basically YOLO!!
