Note 125 — LIFE OF LORD BYRON. (continued 5)
Reading edition
The following stanzas from this little poem have a music in them, which, independently of all meaning, is enchanting:—
"And since I now remember thee In darkness and in dread, As in those hours of revelry, Which mirth and music sped;
"Do thou, amidst the fair white walls, If Cadiz yet be free, At times, from out her latticed halls, Look o'er the dark blue sea;
"Then think upon Calypso's isles, Endear'd by days gone by; To others give a thousand smiles, To me a single sigh," &c. &c.
