LA REVANCHE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: There is no more for me to hope
Last Line: A vain remembrancer of me!
Alternate Author Name(s): Byron, Lord; Byron, 6th Baron
Subject(s): Despair; Love


THERE is no more for me to hope,
There is no more for thee to fear;
And, if I give my Sorrow scope,
That Sorrow thou shalt never hear.
Why did I hold thy love so dear?
Why shed for such a heart one tear?
Let deep and dreary silence be
My only memory of thee!

When all are fled who flatter now,
Save thoughts which will not flatter then;
And thou recall'st the broken vow
To him who must not love again --
Each hour of now forgotten years
Thou, then, shalt number with thy tears;
And every drop of grief shall be
A vain remembrancer of me!
