The complete works of Percy Bysshe Shelley ... . Lines. I. HE cold earth slept below,Above the cold sky shone ;And all around, with a chillingsound. From caves of ice and fields of breath of night like death did flowBeneath the sinking moon. II. The wintry hedge was green grass was not birds did rest on the bare thorns roots, beside the pathway track,Had bound their folds oer many a crack,Which the frost had made ^ Lines III. Thine eyes glowed in the glareOf the moons dying light;As a fenfires beam on a sluggish stream,Gleams dimly, so the moon shone it yellowed the strings of thy ravenhair,That shook in the wind of night.
