QUATRAIN: ON A FLY-LEAF OF SHELLEY'S POEMS by FREDERIC FAIRCHILD SHERMAN

First Line: HEREIN ALL WORDS ARE LIVING THINGS THAT DIE
Last Line: WITH HALF-REMEMBERED CADENCES OF SONG.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS; SHELLEY, PERCY BYSSHE (1792-1822);
Herein all words are living things that die, --
Whose spirits are the memories that throng
The night, and haunt our dreaming, by and by,
With half-remembered cadences of song.
