Poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Song Of Proserpine

Sacred Goddess, Mother Earth,
Thou from whose immortal bosom
Gods and men and beasts have birth,
Leaf and blade, and bud and blossom,
Breathe thine influence most divine
On thine own child, Proserpine.

If with mists of evening dew
Thou dost nourish these young flowers
Till they grow in scent and hue
Fairest children of the Hours,
Breathe thine influence most divine
On thine own child, Proserpine. 

1. The Fitful Alternations of the Rain
2. From the Arabic, an Imitation
3. I Would Not Be A King
4. Wine Of The Fairies
5. Bereavement
