A poem by Lord Byron

On the Eyes of Miss A----H----

________________________________________________
Title:     On the Eyes of Miss A----H----
Author: Lord Byron [More Titles by Byron]

[1]

Anne's Eye is liken'd to the _Sun_,

From it such Beams of Beauty fall;

And _this_ can be denied by none,

For like the _Sun_, it shines on _All_.


Then do not admiration smother,

Or say these glances don't become her;

To _you_, or _I_, or _any other_

Her _Sun_, displays perpetual Summer. [2]


January 14, 1807.


[Footnote 1: Miss Anne Houson. From an autograph MS. at Newstead, now for the first time printed.]

[Footnote 2: Compare, for the same simile, the lines "To Edward Noel Long, Esq.," p. 187, 'ante'.]


-THE END-
