Fragment: A Tale Untold

By Percy Bysshe ShelleySource: Percy Bysshe Shelley - PoetryDB (Public Domain)33 words

One sung of thee who left the tale untold,

Like the false dawns which perish in the bursting;

Like empty cups of wrought and daedal gold,

Which mock the lips with air, when they are thirsting.
