Poem A Day Open in app

Classic poem

Fragment: "Amor Aeternus"

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Wealth and dominion fade into the mass

Of the great sea of human right and wrong,

When once from our possession they must pass;

But love, though misdirected, is among

The things which are immortal, and surpass

All that frail stuff which will be--or which was.
