Explore "On a Cornelian Heart which was Broken" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Ill-fated Heart! And can it be, / That thou should'st thus be rent in vain? / Have years of care for thine and thee / Alike been all employ'd in vain?
Yet precious seems each shatter'd part / And every fragment dearer grown / Since he who wears thee feels thou art / A fitter emblem of his own.
