Song From the Wandering Jew

By Percy Bysshe ShelleySource: Percy Bysshe Shelley - PoetryDB (Public Domain)31 words

See yon opening flower

Spreads its fragrance to the blast;

It fades within an hour,

Its decay is pale--is fast.

Paler is yon maiden;

Faster is her heart's decay;

Deep with sorrow laden,

She sinks in death away.
