Shelley

O life filled with romance,

O man flooded with poetry-light,

Thy volcano-will devoure

Thy critics’ python-night.

Thy “Ode to the Skylark”

And “Prometheus Unbound”,

“Adonais”, tearful Adonais,

On all brain-fields shall be found.

While sailing thy boat lost thee,

A sad story, indeed.

But thy pen’s heights and depths

Remained, the world to feed.

NEXT Poet
