Their hue invites my fervent kiss | B |
Yet I forego that bliss divine | A |
Alas it were unhallow'd bliss | B |

Whene'er I dream of that pure breast | C |
How could I dwell upon its snows | D |

A glance from thy soul searching eye | E |
Can raise with hope depress with fear | F |

I ne'er have told my love yet thou | H |
Hast seen my ardent flame too well | I |
And shall I plead my passion now | H |
To make thy bosom's heaven a hell | I |

More than I here shall dare to tell | I |
Thy innocence and mine to save | M |
I bid thee now a last farewell | I |

Yes yield that breast to seek despair | G |
And hope no more thy soft embrace | N |
Which to obtain my soul would dare | G |
All all reproach but thy disgrace | N |
- | |
At least from guilt shall thou be free | J |
No matron shall thy shame reprove | M |
Though cureless pangs may prey on me | J |
No martyr shall thou be to love | M |
George Gordon Lord Byron
