letra de a summer evening churchyard - percy bysshe shelley - richard mitchley

the wind has swept from the wide atmosphere
each vapour that obscured the sunset’s ray;
and pallid evening twines its beaming hair
in duskier braids around the languid eyes of day:
silence and twilight, unbeloved of men
creep hand in hand from yon obscurest glen

they breathe their spells towards the departing day
encompassing the earth, air, stars, and sea;
light, sound, and motion own the potent sway
responding to the charm with its own mystery
the winds are still, or the dry church-tower grass
knows not thеir gentle motions as they pass

thou too, aërеal pile! whose pinnacles
point from one shrine like pyramids of fire
obeyest in silence their sweet solemn spells
clothing in hues of heaven thy dim and distant spire
around whose lessening and invisible height
gather among the stars the clouds of night

the dead are sleeping in their sepulchres:
and, mouldering as they sleep, a thrilling sound
half sense, half thought, among the darkness stirs
breathed from their wormy beds all living things around
and mingling with the still night and mute sky
its awful hush is felt inaudibly
thus solemnized and softened, death is mild
and terrorless as this serenest night:
here could i hope, like some inquiring child
sporting on graves, that death did hide from human sight
sweet secrets, or beside its breathless sleep
that loveliest dreams perpetual watch did keep
