From the Portuguese. "Tu MI Chamas"

By George Gordon, Lord ByronSource: George Gordon, Lord Byron - PoetryDB (Public Domain)56 words

In moments to delight devoted,

"My Life!" with tenderest tone, you cry;

Dear words! on which my heart had doted,

If Youth could neither fade nor die.

To Death even hours like these must roll,

Ah! then repeat those accents never;

Or change "my Life!" into "my Soul!"

Which, like my Love, exists for ever.
