On Fanny Godwin
[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.
