A gentle story of two lovers young, <br />Who met in innocence and died in sorrow, <br />And of one selfish heart, whose rancour clung <br />Like curses on them; are ye slow to borrow <br />The lore of truth from such a tale? <br />Or in this world’s deserted vale, <br />Do ye not see a star of gladness <br />Pierce the shadows of its sadness,-- <br />When ye are cold, that love is a light sent <br />From Heaven, which none shall quench, to cheer the innocent?<br /><br />Percy Bysshe Shelley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fragment-a-gentle-story-of-two-lovers-young/
