"So We'll Go No More a Roving," by Lord Byron (George Gordon)
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon)
1
So, we'll go no more a roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.
2
For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.
3
Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a roving
By the light of the moon.
