THE TALE UNTOLD, by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: One sung of thee who left the tale untold
Last Line: Which mock the lips with air, when they are thirsting.
First Line: One sung of thee who left the tale untold
Last Line: Which mock the lips with air, when they are thirsting.
ONE sung of thee who left the tale untold,
Like the false dawns which perish in the bursting;
Like empty cups of wrought and daedal gold,
Which mock the lips with air, when they are thirsting.
