So we'll go no more a-roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart still be as loving,
And the moon still be as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul outwears the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.

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.

~Lord Byron

Isn't that your Unequal Children icon? Or did I remember it wrong?

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Nope, you are correct. I thought it fit the poem - plus I'm using the poem *for* unequal.

Oh... It's kind of sad, isn't it?

Yeeesss

Hmm. Pity I'm not too much into poetry... Then again, maybe it's a good thing, because knowing you and me, we'd end up liking all the depressing poetry and getting caught in a cycle where we share sad, melancholy poetry and get gradually more angsty and things. :P

My favorite poems are actually rather upbeat - but I really like this one just because it sounds so pretty. Byron, Shelley and Poe are my favorite poets.

Niiiiice. ^______^ Must pester you to share with me sometime.

It is pretty, just a bit melancholy. (Then again, a lot of pretty things are sad, or make a person contemplative and quiet.)

Mmmm, Byron. Can I get a link link?
