by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822)
Rough wind that moanest loud
Language: English
Available translation(s): FRE
Rough wind that moanest loud, Grief too sad for song; Wild wind when sullen cloud Knells all [the]1 night long; Sad storm, whose tears are vain, Bare woods whose branches strain, Deep caves and dreary main, Wail! for the world's wrong.
