Lord George Gordon Byron , |
My soul is dark - Oh! quickly string |
The harp I yet can brook to hear; |
And let thy gentle fingers fling |
Its melting murmurs o'er mine ear. |
If in this heart a hope be dear, |
That sound shall charm it forth again: |
If in these eyes there lurk a tear, |
'Twill flow, and cease to burn my brain. |
But bid the strain be wild and deep, |
Nor let thy notes of joy be first: |
I tell thee, minstrel, I must weep, |
Or else this heavy heart will burst; |
For it hath been by sorrow nursed, |
And ached in sleepless silence, long; |
And now 'tis doomed to know the worst, |
And break at once - or yield to song. |
