The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley (ed. Hutchinson, 1914)/On Fanny Godwin

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

ON FANNY GODWIN

[Published by Mrs. Shelley, among the poems of 1817, in P. W., 1839, 1st ed.]

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.
