Analyzing Byron's Poetic Techniques
Then, I have loved Thee so, that I/ Defy my own limbs to move or speak,/ And, if I should attempt to die,/ I know not how my life would peak./ I fear I may forget Thy face,/ Or lose my faith in Thy sweet grace,/ Or turn my soul to earth and dust/ And lay my love for Thee in trust./ But, O my soul, my soul, arise!/ And blow the trumpet of the skies!/ For love is life, and death is nought,/ When love is all that we have sought.
