XIII

by Percy Bysshe Shelley · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of Marenghi

Amid the mountains, like a hunted beast,

He hid himself, and hunger, toil, and cold,

Month after month endured; it was a feast

Whene'er he found those globes of deep-red gold

Which in the woods the strawberry-tree doth bear,

Suspended in their emerald atmosphere.
