A Lament
The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1821
O world! life! 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! 5
Out of the day and nightA joy has taken flight;Fresh spring, and summer, and winter hoar,Move my faint heart with grief, but with delightNo more—Oh, never more! 10
