Love

And that I walk thus proudly crowned withal

by Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792–1822

From Complete Poetical Works, Oxford ed. Hutchinson (1914)

Love

And that I walk thus proudly crowned withal
Is that ’tis my distinction; if I fall,
I shall not weep out of the vital day,
To-morrow dust, nor wear a dull decay.
