Poem A Day

Classic poem

Fragment: A Roman's Chamber

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

In the cave which wild weeds cover

Wait for thine aethereal lover;

For the pallid moon is waning,

O'er the spiral cypress hanging

And the moon no cloud is staining.

It was once a Roman's chamber,

Where he kept his darkest revels,

And the wild weeds twine and clamber;

It was then a chasm for devils.
