THE FIERCE BEASTS by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE FIERCE BEASTS OF THE WOODS AND WILDERNESSES
Last Line: AROUND ITS MARGIN, HEAP THE SAND THEREON.

THE fierce beasts of the woods and wildernesses
Track not the steps of him who drinks of it;
For the light breezes, which forever fleet
Around its margin, heap the sand thereon.
