Explore "To the Honble Mrs George Lamb" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The sacred song that on mine ear / Yet vibrates from that voice of thine, / I heard, before, from one so dear - / 'T is strange it still appears divine.
But, oh! so sweet that look and tone / To her and thee alike is given; / It seemed as if for me alone / That both had been recalled from Heaven!
And though I never can redeem / The vision thus endeared to me; / I scarcely can regret my dream, / When realised again by thee.
