William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. The Book of Georgian Verse. 1909. | | A Lament | By Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822) |
| O WORLD! O life! O time! | |
On whose last steps I climb | |
Trembling at that where I had stood before; | |
When will return the glory of your prime? | |
No moreOh, never more! | 5 |
|
Out of the day and night | |
A joy has taken flight; | |
Fresh spring, and summer, and winter hoar, | |
Move my faint heart with grief, but with delight | |
No moreOh, never more! | 10 | | |
