Percy Bysshe Shelley (Aug. 4, 1792 - 1822, death by drowning) has long been the somewhat effeminate poster boy for the radical wing of Romantic poetry…
Published posthumously by his wife Mary Shelley in 1824 - Percy addresses the moon:
Art thou pale for weariness?
Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth, -
And ever changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?
