BUT once I dared to lift my eyes, To lift my eyes to thee; And, since that day, beneath the skies, No other sight they see. In vain sleep shuts them in the night, The night grows day to me, Presenting idly to my sight What still a dream must be. A fatal dream -- for many a bar Divides thy fate from mine; And still my passions wake and war, But peace be still with thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRAGMENT by GEORGE GORDON BYRON A SPIRIT PASSED BEFORE ME by GEORGE GORDON BYRON AN ODE TO THE FRAMERS OF THE FRAME BILL by GEORGE GORDON BYRON BEPPO: A VENETIAN STORY by GEORGE GORDON BYRON BY THE RIVERS OF BABYLON WE SAT DOWN AND WEPT by GEORGE GORDON BYRON CHURCHILL'S GRAVE by GEORGE GORDON BYRON DARKNESS by GEORGE GORDON BYRON DON JUAN: CANTO 1 by GEORGE GORDON BYRON DON JUAN: DEDICATION [OR, INVOCATION] by GEORGE GORDON BYRON ELEGY ON THYRZA by GEORGE GORDON BYRON EPIGRAM ON MY WEDDING DAY: TO PENELOPE by GEORGE GORDON BYRON |
