Leap, plashless as they swim.

Ode to the West Wind

by Percy Bysshe Shelley



O WILD West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being—

Thou from whose unseen presence the leaves dead

Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,

Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,

5 Pestilence1-stricken multitudes!—O thou

Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed

The wingèd seeds, where they lie cold and low,

Each like a corpse within its grave, until

Thine azure2 sister of the Spring shall blow

10 Her clarion3 o'er the dreaming earth, and fill

(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)

With living hues and odours plain and hill—

Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere—

Destroyer and Preserver—hear, O hear!

15 Thou on whose stream, 'mid the steep sky's commotion,

Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed,

Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean,

Angels of rain and lightning! they are spread

On the blue surface of thine airy surge,

20 Like the bright hair uplifted from the head

Of some fierce Mænad,4 ev'n from the dim verge

Of the horizon to the zenith's height—

The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge5

Of the dying year, to which this closing night

25 Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre,6

Vaulted with all thy congregated might

Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere

Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst:—O hear!

Thou who didst waken from his summer-dreams

30 The blue Mediterranean, where he lay,

Lull'd by the coil of his crystalline streams,

Beside a pumice7 isle in Baiæ's bay,

And saw in sleep old palaces and towers

Quivering within the wave's intenser day,

35 All overgrown with azure moss, and flowers

So sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou

For whose path the Atlantic's level powers

Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below

The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear

40 The sapless foliage of the ocean, know

Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear

And tremble and despoil themselves:—O hear!

If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;

If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;

45 A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share

The impulse of thy strength, only less free

Than thou, O uncontrollable!—if even

I were as in my boyhood, and could be

The comrade of thy wanderings over heaven,

50 As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed

Scarce seem'd a vision,—I would ne'er have striven

As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.

O lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!

I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!

55 A heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd

One too like thee—tameless, and swift, and proud.

Make me thy lyre, ev'n as the forest is:

What if my leaves are falling like its own!

The tumult of thy mighty harmonies

60 Will take from both a deep autumnal tone,

Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,

My spirit! be thou me, impetuous one!

Drive my dead thoughts over the universe,

Like wither'd leaves, to quicken a new birth;

65 And, by the incantation8 of this verse,

Scatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth

Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!

Be through my lips to unawaken'd earth

The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,

70 If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Read the following passage from The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens:
"On either side, the banks of the Medway, covered with
corn-fields and pastures, with here and there a windmill, or
a distant church, stretched away as far as the eye could
see, presenting a rich and varied landscape, rendered more
beautiful by the changing shadows which passed swiftly
across it as the thin and half-formed clouds skimmed
away in the light of the morning sun. The river, reflecting
the clear blue of the sky, glistened and sparkled as it
flowed noiselessly on; and the oars of the fishermen
dipped into the water with a clear and liquid sound."
