In Keats' 'The Poetry of Earth', the voices of poetry manifest themselves through the song of the grasshopper and the cricket. 

The fact that both the insects remain invisible to the human eye, lens intensity to their song which becomes a voice without form. There is a sense of a distinctive presence that pervades the whole poem. Continuity has been established by connecting the chirping of the grasshopper in the meadows during summer with the similar chirping of the cricket by the fireside in winter. Thus the song of nature is never silent. When the birds are tired, the grasshopper takes lead in enjoyment and when winter frost covers the earth and the gloomy atmosphere silences other voices of the countryside, the cricket's shrill voice fills the environment with increasing intensity. Thus, the song of nature continues forever.
