When Soft Winds and Sunny Skies, di Percy Shelley

Percy Shelley

When Soft Winds and Sunny Skies

When soft winds and sunny skies

With the green earth harmonize,

And the young and dewy dawn,

Bold as an unhunted fawn,

Up the windless heaven is gone,—

Laugh—for ambushed in the day,—

Clouds and whirlwinds watch their prey.
