Stanza, Written At Bracknell

Title:     Stanza, Written At Bracknell
Author: Percy Bysshe Shelley [More Titles by Shelley]

Thy dewy looks sink in my breast;
Thy gentle words stir poison there;
Thou hast disturbed the only rest
That was the portion of despair!
Subdued to Duty's hard control,
I could have borne my wayward lot:
The chains that bind this ruined soul
Had cankered then--but crushed it not.

[The end]
Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem: Stanza, Written At Bracknell
