On Parting.

The kiss. dear maid. thy lip hath left
Shall never part from mine,
Till happier hours restore the gift
Untainted back to thine.
Thy parting glance, which fondly beams
An equal love may see;
The tear that from thine eyelid streams
Can weep no change in me.
I ask no pledge TO make me blest
In gazing when alone;
Nor one memorial for a breast
Whose thoughts are all thine own
BY day or night, in veal or woe,
That heart, no longer free,
Must bear the love IL cannot show,
And silent ache for three.
Byron
