Sophia Stacey

Sophia Stacey (c. 1791– 11 December 1874) was a friend of the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.[1][2] Shelley dedicated the Ode to Sophia which begins:

Thou art fair, and few are fairer,
Of the nymphs of earth or ocean,
They are robes that fit the wearer -
Those soft limbs of thine whose motion,
Ever falls and shifts and glances
As the life within them dances''.
