Shelley, Percy Bysshe: A Lament

Portre of Shelley, Percy Bysshe

A Lament (English)

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 more – Oh, never more!

 

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 more – Oh, never more!
