Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -"When I Have Fears” is an Elizabethan sonnet by the English Romantic poet John Keats. The 14-line poem is written in iambic pentameter and consists of three quatrains and a couplet. Keats wrote the poem between 22 and 31 January 1818.

Detailed explanation-2: -Keats’ fear of death lies in his desire to stay connected to his love, and more broadly to this world. But he finds that fear itself keeps him disconnected from the very act of living. When you feel overcome with fear and anxiety, how do you reconnect to that which is important to you?

Detailed explanation-3: -"When I have Fears That I May Cease to Be” is a Shakespearean or Elizabethan sonnet-a 14-line poem that typically has a rhyme scheme, ten-syllables lines, and a volta (or “turn"), which is a dramatic shift in thought or emotion. In a Shakespearean sonnet, the volta always comes after the twelfth line.

Detailed explanation-4: -Agnes and other poems was published in July 1820 before his last visit to Rome.

Detailed explanation-5: -Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance; And when I feel, fair creature of an hour! Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
