FRAGMENT (3), by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: When soft winds and sunny skies
Last Line: Clouds and whirlwinds watch their prey.
First Line: When soft winds and sunny skies
Last Line: Clouds and whirlwinds watch their prey.
WHEN soft winds and sunny skies
With the green earth harmonize,
And the young and dewy dawn,
Bold as an unhunted fawn,
Up the windless heaven is gone, --
Laugh -- for, ambushed in the day,
Clouds and whirlwinds watch their prey.
