Paroles
Alas! Ah me! Pain, pain ever, for ever,
No change, no pause, no hope. Yet I endure.
I ask the earth, have not the mountains felt?
I ask yon heav'n, the all-beholding sun,
Has it not seen? The sea, in storm or calm,
Have its deaf waves not heard my agony?
And yet to me welcome is day and night,
Whether one breaks the hoar frost of the morn,
Or starry, dim, and slow, the other climbs
The leaden-coloured east; for then they lead
The wingless, crawling hours, one among whom
Shall drag thee, cruel King, to kiss the blood
From these pale feet, which then might trample thee
If they disdained not such a prostrate slave.
Written by: Percy Bysshe Shelley, Sir Charles Hubert Parry
