"Old Meg she was a Gypsy" is a poem by the renowned English Romantic poet John Keats. The poem is often referred to by its opening line and features the character Meg Merrilies, a figure who embodies the archetypal image of a gypsy woman. Keats, known for his vivid imagery and emotional depth, paints a compelling portrait of Meg Merrilies, capturing both her physical presence and the mystique surrounding her lifestyle.

Meg Merrilies is depicted as an enigmatic and somewhat romanticized figure, living on the fringes of society. The poem describes her as an old gypsy woman, wandering through the countryside, embodying a sense of freedom and connection to nature that contrasts sharply with the more settled and conventional lives of the people around her. Keats' portrayal of Meg Merrilies taps into the Romantic fascination with the exotic and the marginalized, celebrating her independence and resilience.

The character of Meg Merrilies has roots in British folklore and literature, and she appears in various works beyond Keats' poem. Notably, she is a central character in Sir Walter Scott's novel "Guy Mannering," where she is portrayed as a wise and prophetic figure. Keats' poem, however, focuses more on her physical presence and the aura of mystery that surrounds her.

Keats' use of rich, descriptive language in "Old Meg she was a Gypsy" creates a vivid and memorable image of Meg Merrilies. The poem reflects the Romantic era's preoccupation with nature, the supernatural, and the lives of those who exist outside the bounds of conventional society. Through Meg Merrilies, Keats explores themes of freedom, otherness, and the enduring human spirit, making her a compelling and enduring figure in his body of work.
