AUGUST SIXTEENTH
We stood beside the pools that lie
Under the forest bough,
And each seemed like unto a sky
Gulfed in a world below;
In which the massy forests grew,
As in the upper air, ,
More perfect both in shape and hue
Than any waving there.
And all was interfused beneath
With an Elysium air,
An atmosphere without a breath,
A silence sleeping there.
The Pine Forest
Percy Bysshe Shelley

And out of the cups of the heavy flowers
She emptied the rain of the thunder showers.

Parasite flowers illumine with dewy gems
The lampless halls, and when they fade, the sky
Peeps through their winter-woof of tracery
With moonlight patches, or star atoms keen,
Or fragments of the day's intense serene;
Working mosaic on their Parian floors.
Epipsychidion
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Through the dell,
Silence and Twilight here, twin-sisters, keep
Their noonday watch, and sail among the shades
Like vaporous shapes half seen.

Away, unlovely dreams!
Away, false shapes of sleep!
Be his, as heaven seems,
Clear and bright and deep,
Soft as love, and calm as death,
Sweet as a summer night without a breath.

The sun is warm, the sky is clear,
The waves are dancing fast and bright,
Blue isles and snowy mountains wear
The purple noon's transparent light.

AUGUST EIGHTH
Thy brother Death came, and cried,
Wouldst thou me?
Thy sweet child Sleep, the filmy-eyed,
Murmured like a noontide bee,
Shall I nestle near thy side?
Wouldst thou me? - And I replied,
No, not thee!
