TO MUSIC; A FRAGMENT by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: SILVER KEY OF THE FOUNTAIN OF TEARS
Last Line: IS LAID ASLEEP IN FLOWERS.
Subject(s): MUSIC & MUSICIANS; SLEEP;

SILVER key of the fountain of tears,
Where the spirit drinks till the brain is wild;
Softest grave of a thousand fears,
Where their mother, Care, like a drowsy child,
Is laid asleep in flowers.
