I am looking for the poem that starts with these lines: "I loved, and then I loved no more Let joys and grief perish and leave dismay to ring the knell of youth. He stood beside me, the embodied vision of the brightest dream Who like the dawn heralds the day of light." |

Hello. The poem is part of a work called "Fragments of an Unfinished Drama." The poet is Percy Bysshe Shelley. LADY: Oh! would that I could claim exemption From all the bitterness of that sweet name. I loved, I love, and when I love no more Let joys and grief perish, and leave despair _50 To ring the knell of youth. He stood beside me, The embodied vision of the brightest dream, Which like a dawn heralds the day of life; The shadow of his presence made my world A Paradise. All familiar things he touched, _55 All common words he spoke, became to me Like forms and sounds of a diviner world. He was as is the sun in his fierce youth, As terrible and lovely as a tempest; He came, and went, and left me what I am. _60 source: "Fragments of an Unfinished Drama."
