Explore "Sun of the Sleepless!" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Sun of the sleepless! melancholy star! / Whose tearful beam glows tremulously far, / That show'st the darkness thou canst not dispel, / How like art thou to Joy remembered well! / So gleams the past, the light of other days, / Which shines, but warms not with its powerless rays: / A night-beam Sorrow watcheth to behold, / Distinct, but distant-clear-but, oh how cold!
