To Mary Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley·1792–1822
Lines:8Movement:Romanticism
My dearest Mary, wherefore hast thou gone,And left me in this dreary world alone?Thy form is here indeed--a lovely one--But thou art fled, gone down the dreary road,That leads to Sorrow's most obscure abode;Thou sittest on the hearth of pale despair,WhereFor thine own sake I cannot follow thee.
