A Fragment: To Music lyrics
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
[Published in "Poetical Works", 1839, 1st edition.
Dated 1817 (Mrs. Shelley).]
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.
