Of those beloved those vanish'd hours | B |
When all my soul was given to thee | C |
Hours that may never be forgot | A |
Till Time unnerves our vital powers | B |
And thou and I shall cease to be | C |
- | |
Can I forget canst thou forget | D |
When playing with thy golden hair | E |
How quick thy fluttering heart did move | F |
Oh by my soul I see thee yet | D |
With eyes so languid breast so fair | E |
And lips though silent breathing love | G |
- | |
When thus reclining on my breast | H |
Those eyes threw back a glance so sweet | I |
As half reproach'd yet rais'd desire | J |
And still we near and nearer prest | H |
And still our glowing lips would meet | I |
As if in kisses to expire | K |
- | |
And then those pensive eyes would close | L |
And bid their lids each other seek | M |
Veiling the azure orbs below | N |
While their long lashes' darken'd gloss | O |
Seem'd stealing o'er thy brilliant cheek | M |
Like raven's plumage smooth'd on snow | N |
- | |
I dreamt last night our love return'd | P |
And sooth to say that very dream | Q |
Was sweeter in its phantasy | O |
Than if for other hearts I burn'd | P |
For eyes that ne'er like thine could beam | Q |
In Rapture's wild reality | C |
- | |
Then tell me not remind me not | A |
Of hours which though for ever gone | R |
Can still a pleasing dream restore | S |
Till thou and I shall be forgot | A |
And senseless as the mouldering stone | T |
Which tells that we shall be no more | S |
George Gordon Lord Byron
