Passage Of The Apennines

Title:     Passage Of The Apennines
Author: Percy Bysshe Shelley [More Titles by Shelley]

Listen, listen, Mary mine,
To the whisper of the Apennine,
It bursts on the roof like the thunder's roar,
Or like the sea on a northern shore,
Heard in its raging ebb and flow
By the captives pent in the cave below.

Which between the earth and sky doth lay;
But when night comes, a chaos dread
On the dim starlight then is spread,
And the Apennine walks abroad with the storm,
Shrouding...

[The end]
Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem: Passage Of The Apennines
