III

by Percy Bysshe Shelley · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of The Magnetic Lady to her Patient

'Sleep, sleep, and with the slumber of

The dead and the unborn

Forget thy life and love;

Forget that thou must wake forever;

Forget the world's dull scorn;

Forget lost health, and the divine

Feelings which died in youth's brief morn;

And forget me, for I can never

Be thine.
