Explore "To Florence" by Lord Byron on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Oh Lady! when I left the shore, / The distant shore which gave me birth, / I hardly thought to grieve once more / To quit another spot on earth:
Yet here, amidst this barren isle, / Where panting Nature droops the head, / Where only thou art seen to smile, / I view my parting hour with dread.
