The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley (ed. Hutchinson, 1914)/A Roman's Chamber
FRAGMENT: A ROMAN'S CHAMBER
[Published by Mrs. Shelley, P. W, 1839, 2nd ed.]
I.In the cave which wild weeds cover Wait for thine aethereal lover; For the pallid moon is waning, O'er the spiral cypress hanging And the moon no cloud is staining. 5
II.It was once a Roman's chamber, Where he kept his darkest revels. And the wild weeds twine and clamber; It was then a chasm for devils.
