Explore "The First Kiss of Love" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Away with your fictions of flimsy romance, / Those tissues of falsehood which folly has wove! / Give me the mild beam of the soul-breathing glance, / Or the rapture which dwells on the first kiss of love.
Ye rhymers, whose bosoms with phantasy glow, / Whose pastoral passions are made for the grove; / From what blest inspiration your sonnets would flow, / Could you ever tasted the first kiss love!
