ON FANNY GODWIN.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

[Published by Mrs. Shelley, among the poems of 1817, in “Poetical

Works”, 1839, 1st edition.]

 

Her voice did quiver as we parted,

Yet knew I not that heart was broken

From which it came, and I departed

Heeding not the words then spoken.

Misery—O Misery, _5

This world is all too wide for thee.
