George Gordon Byron - There Was A Time, I Need Not Name
Work rating: Low

There was a time, I need not name,
    Since it will ne`er forgotten be,
When all our feelings were the same
    As still my soul hath been to thee.

And from that hour when first thy tongue
    Confess`d a love which equall`d mine,
Though many a grief my heart hath wrung,
    Unknown, and thus unfelt, by thine,

None, none hath sunk so deep as this--
    To think how all that love hath flown;
Transient as every faithless kiss,
    But transient in thy breast alone.

And yet my heart some solace knew,
    When late I heard thy lips declare,
In accents once imagined true,
    Remembrance of the days that were.

Yes! my adored, yet most unkind!
    Though thou wilt never love again,
To me `tis doubly sweet to find
    Remembrance of that love remain.

Yes! `tis a glorious thought to me,
    Nor longer shall my soul repine,
Whate`er thou art or e`er shalt be,
    Thou hast been dearly, solely mine.
