Explore "I Saw Thee Weep" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I / I saw thee weep-the big bright tear / Came o'er that eye of blue; / And then methought it did appear / A violet dropping dew: / I saw thee smile-the sapphire's blaze / Beside thee ceased to shine; / It could not match the living rays / That filled that glance of thine.
II / As clouds from yonder sun receive / A deep and mellow dye, / Which scarce the shade of coming eve / Can banish from the sky, / Those smiles unto the moodiest mind / Their own pure joy impart; / Their sunshine leaves a glow behind / That lightens o'er the heart.
