About this book
The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Volume 2 presents early poems and groups of poems arranged under years, together with editorial notes. The contents list poems addressed to named recipients, titles concerning death and mutability, and a hymn to intellectual beauty. A poem personifies silence and twilight as companions creeping hand in hand from a glen and casting spells towards the departing day.
A speaking voice calls itself the daughter of earth and water and the nursling of the sky, changing without being able to die. The heading for To a Skylark identifies its composition at Leghorn and its publication with Prometheus Unbound in the same year. Another poem describes a meeting changed from the parting, with one person's heavy heart and the other's doubt.
