V

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

In winds, and trees, and streams, and all things common,

In music and the sweet unconscious tone

Of animals, and voices which are human,

Meant to express some feelings of their own;

In the soft motions and rare smile of woman,

In flowers and leaves, and in the grass fresh-shown,

Or dying in the autumn, I the most

Adore thee present or lament thee lost.
