In "When I have Fears That I May Cease to Be," Keats reflects on dying young. 

Three of his regrets are:

1. that he will not fulfill his goals as a writer ("Before my pen has gleaned by teeming brain")
2. that he will never look upon his beloved's face again ("fair creature...that I shall never look upon thee more")
3. that he will never enjoy powerful love ("never have relish in the faery power of unreflecting love)

The thought of dying young causes Keats to fear, as we are told from the first line. At the end of the poem, however, Keats describes how he handles such fears. He reminds himself that he is alone ("Of the wide world I stand alone") and that "love and fame" are nothing.

By reminding himself that love and fame are ultimately nothing, he can stop focusing on his three regrets, both of which involve love and fame.

Answer:

The three of his regrets are that he will not fulfill his goals as a writer "Before my pen has gleaned by the teeming brain", that he will never look upon his beloved's face again "fair creature...that I shall never look upon thee more", and also that he will never enjoy powerful love "never have relish in the faery power of unreflecting love". The thought of Keat dying young causes him to fear of these things as we are told from the very first line of this sonnet. Keat, however in the end of this sonnet, then describes how he can handle these specific fear that he once had. he reminds himself that he is always alone and that love and fame shouldn't mean anything. By reminding himself of these things, he can forget these regrets that include fame and love.
