Fragment: Thoughts Come and Go in Solitude

Published by Mrs. Shelley, "Poetical Works", 1839, 1st edition.

My thoughts arise and fade in solitude,
The verse that would invest them melts away
Like moonlight in the heaven of spreading day:
How beautiful they were, how firm they stood,
Flecking the starry sky like woven pearl!
