Explore "Stanzas to Augusta II" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I / Though the day of my destiny's over, / And the star of my fate hath declined, / Thy soft heart refused to discover / The faults which so many could find, / Though thy soul with my grief was acquainted, / It shrunk not to share it with me, / And the love which my spirit hath painted / It never hath found but in thee.
II / Then when nature around me is smiling, / The last smile which answers to mine, / I do not believe it beguiling, / Because it reminds me of thine, / And when winds are at war with the ocean. / As the breasts I believed in with me, / If their billows excite an emotion, / It is that they bear me from thee.
