When passion's trance is overpast

 

     When passion's trance is overpast,
     If tenderness and truth could last,
     Or live, whilst all wild feelings keep
     Some mortal slumber, dark and deep,
     I should not weep, I should not weep! 

     It were enough to feel, to see,
     Thy soft eyes gazing tenderly,
     And dream the rest--and burn and be
     The secret food of fires unseen,
     Couldst thou but be as thou hast been,  

     After the slumber of the year
     The woodland violets reappear;
     All things revive in field or grove,
     And sky and sea, but two, which move
     And form all others, life and love.

     Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
