Reading Passage: Shelley's 'A Song of Mystery'
Behind the veil of twilight's hush, where shadows weave their silent dance, a secret stirs in depths so lush, concealed within a mystic trance.
The moon, a pale and distant eye, surveys the dark with gentle gaze, revealing truths that softly lie in night's obscure and silent maze.
Whispering winds convey a tune of hidden realms and breaking dawn, where secrets lost and secrets soon may shimmer, fade, or spawn.
What lies beyond the veiled horizon? What whispers in the midnight air? The answer rests in mystery, spun in the threads of night's own dare.
