IV

by Percy Bysshe Shelley · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of Lines: 'The cold earth slept below'

The moon made thy lips pale, beloved—

The wind made thy bosom chill—

The night did shed on thy dear head

Its frozen dew, and thou didst lie

Where the bitter breath of the naked sky

Might visit thee at will.
