II

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

Summer was dead, but I yet lived to weep

The instability of all but weeping;

And on the Earth lulled in her winter sleep

I woke, and envied her as she was sleeping.

Too happy Earth! over thy face shall creep

The wakening vernal airs, until thou, leaping

From unremembered dreams, shalt see

No death divide thy immortality.
