    • 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,
    • 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,
    • Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams. The blue Mediterranean, where he lay, Lull'd by the coil of his crystalline streams, Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay,
