Percy Bysshe Shelley - Fragment: To A Friend Released From PrisonPercy Bysshe Shelley - Fragment: To A Friend Released From Prison
Work rating: Low


For me, my friend, if not that tears did tremble In my faint eyes, and that my heart beat fast With feelings which make rapture pain resemble, Yet, from thy voice that falsehood starts aghast, I thank thee--let the tyrant keep His chains and tears, yea, let him weep With rage to see thee freshly risen, Like strength from slumber, from the prison, In which he vainly hoped the soul to bind Which on the chains must prey that fetter humankind.
