Rarely rarely comest thouA
Spirit of DelightB
Wherefore hast thou left me nowA
Many a day and nightB
Many a weary night and dayC
'Tis since thou art fled awayC
-
How shall ever one like meD
Win thee back againE
With the joyous and the freeD
Thou wilt scoff at painF
Spirit false thou hast forgotG
All but those who need thee notG
-
As a lizard with the shadeH
Of a trembling leafI
Thou with sorrow art dismayedH
Even the sighs of griefI
Reproach thee that thou art not nearJ
And reproach thou wilt not hearK
-
Let me set my mournful dittyD
To a merry measureL
Thou wilt never come for pityD
Thou wilt come for pleasureL
Pity then will cut awayC
Those cruel wings and thou wilt stayC
-
I love all that thou lovestC
Spirit of DelightC
The fresh Earth in new leaves dressedC
And the starry nightC
Autumn evening and the mornM
When the golden mists are bornM
-
I love snow and all the formsN
Of the radiant frostC
I love waves and winds and stormsN
Everything almostC
Which is Nature's and may beD
Untainted by man's miseryD
-
I love tranquil solitudeC
And such societyD
As is quiet wise and goodC
Between thee and meD
What diff'rence but thou dost possessO
The things I seek not love them lessO
-
I love Love though he has wingsP
And like light can fleeD
But above all other thingsP
Spirit I love theeD
Thou art love and life O comeQ
Make once more my heart thy homeR

Percy Bysshe Shelley
