Explore "Love and Death" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I watched thee when the foe was at our side, / Ready to strike at him - or thee and me. / Were safety hopeless - rather than divide / Aught with one loved save love and liberty.
I watched thee on the breakers, when the rock / Received our prow and all was storm and fear, / And bade thee cling to me through every shock; / This arm would be thy bark, or breast thy bier.
