Percy Bysshe Shelley...

There was a Woman, beautiful as morning,
Sitting beneath the rocks, upon the sand
Of the waste sea - fair as one flower adorning
An icy wilderness; each delicate hand
Lay crossed upon her bosom, and the band
Of her dark hair had fall'n, and so she sate
Looking upon the waves; on the bare strand
Upon the sea-mark a small boat did wait,
Fair as herself, like Love by Hope left desolate.
