The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe: Fragment: A Tale Untold

Fragment: A Tale Untold

[Published by Mrs. Shelley, "Poetical Works", 1839, 2nd edition.]
One sung of thee who left the tale untold,
Like the false dawns which perish in the bursting;
Like empty cups of wrought and daedal gold,
Which mock the lips with air, when they are thirsting.
