The Eve of St. Agnes is a narrative poem written by John Keats in 1819 and published in 1820. It tells the story of a young woman named Madeline who, on the eve of St. Agnes' Day, seeks to dream of her future husband. Her lover Porphyro, who is not favored by her family, sneaks into her chamber and they elope. The poem is a romantic tale of love and desire set in a medieval castle on a cold winter's night.
