by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822)
Translation

Wind resonances
Language: English  after the English 
breath of autumns being
leaves like ghost from an enchanter fleeing
loose clouds like angels of rain and lightning
shook from the tangled boughs of heaven and ocean
wild spirit, which art moving everywhere
if I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear
if I were a swift cloud to fly with thee

a swift cloud to fly with thee
