Byron
-
But I have lived, and have not lived in vain:
My mind may lose its force, my blood its fire,
and my frame perish even in conquering pain;
But there is that within me which shall tire
Torture and Time, and breathe when I expire;
Something unearthly which they deem not of,
like the remembered tone of a mute lyre
Shall on their softened spirits sink, and move
In hearts all rocky now the late remorse of love.

My mind may lose its force, my blood its fire,
and my frame perish even in conquering pain;
But there is that within me which shall tire
Torture and Time, and breathe when I expire;
Something unearthly which they deem not of,
lile the remembered tone of a mute lyre
Shall on their softened spirits sink, and move
In hearts all rocky now the late remorse of love.
