Explore "To George, Earl Delawarr" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Oh! yes, I will own we were dear to each other; / The friendships of childhood, though fleeting, are true; / The love which you felt was the love of a brother, / Nor less the affection I cherish'd for you.
But Friendship can vary her gentle dominion; / The attachment of years in a moment expires: / Like Love, too, she moves on a swift-waving pinion, / But glows not, like Love, with unquenchable fires.
