Quoted text
from 'Bridal Song' Percy Bysshe Shelly
'Fairies, sprites, and angels, keep her,'
safe in hidden bowers deeper,
than any harm could ever reach.
Oh found treasures, searching hands,
reaching from those distant lands,
to hold a heart found far lit gleem.
There a Fay dreams of other worlds
where she reclines on silken vines
strung f'm oak tree posts inbetween
limestone cliffs, sweet water streams
in falls of shower'd liquid pearls
How this rare nascent luster mine,
found through luck that seems devine,
all a part of some cosmic vast design
binds two through space and time.

The first two stanze have a heartfelt feeling of protection and distance, and the third creates an interesting scene in my mind. The fourth, however, I was distracted by the rhymes, to be honest. Four in a row is too neat (for my taste). But then, this poem isn't for me. So... :-Dmore...
