A Lament

________________________________________________
Title:     A Lament
Author: Percy Bysshe Shelley [More Titles by Shelley]

1.
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!

2.
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!

[The end]
Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem: Lament
