Question:I'm doing a project to where I have to choose a poem from Keats, Coleridge, Wordsworth, or Byron and find a song that relates or matches it.

I'm having trouble with that part, in extremes.
If you have done this project before & can provide information, or can think of a song to go with any of the poems, 10 points will be given.

Thanks!

Do you think they'll let you use that other great romantic poet, Shelley? - because the song Dust in the Wind has always reminded me of his poem Ozymandias. In case they don't allow you to use Shelley, which would surprise me, I'll try to think of another and get back to you if I can. Just thought of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner-theme of respecting all life like the albatross, similar to old song Bless the Beasts and the Children, best as I can remember it-from 70s ,I think. Will try to think of more.
