I

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

But when we cease to breathe and move

I do suppose love ceases too.

I thought, but not as now I do,

Keen thoughts and bright of linked lore,

Of all that men had thought before,

And all that Nature shows, and more.
