In saying "all ye need to know" about "earth" is that "Beauty is truth," Keats's speaker is imparting wisdom about the world. The speaker in "A Poet to His Baby Son," in alluding to Keats and describing past poets as "interpreters of the eternal truth" (line 25), implies that the past poet's job was to help us understand the truth of the world around us.
