This poem inspired this painting by Waterhouse. I was familiar with the painting but not the poem. It is very beautiful. The following is a quote from the website where you can see the painting.
"This painting is based on La Belle Dame Sans Merci by John Keats.
It illustrates the lines:
She took me to her elfin grot, And there she gaz'd and sighed deep, And there I shut her wild sad eyes - So kiss'd to sleep."
