Explore "Lines to a Lady Weeping" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Weep, daughter of a royal line, A / Sire's disgrace, a realm's decay; / Ah! happy if each tear of thine / Could wash a father's fault away!
Weep - for thy tears are Virtue's tears / Auspicious to these suffering isles; / And be each drop in future years / Repaid thee by thy people's smiles!
