A LOST LEADER by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: MY HEAD IS WILD WITH WEEPING FOR A GRIEF
Last Line: AMONG MEN'S SPIRITS SHOULD BE COLD AND BLIND.
Subject(s): GRIEF; SORROW; SADNESS;

MY head is wild with weeping for a grief
Which is the shadow of a gentle mind.
I walk into the air (but no relief
To seek, -- or haply, if I sought, to find;
It came unsought); -- to wonder that a chief
Among men's spirits should be cold and blind.
