I Saw Thee Weep
by
George Gordon Byron
I saw thee weep - the big
bright tear
Came over that eye of blue;
And then methought it did appear
A violet dropping dew.
I saw thee smile - the sapphire's blaze
Beside thee ceased to shine;
It could not match the living rays
That filled that glance of thine.
As clouds from yonder sun receive
A deep and mellow dye,
Which scarce the shade of coming eve
Can banish from the sky,
Those smiles unto the moodiest mind
Their own pure joy impart;
Their sunshine leaves a glow behind
That lightens o'er the heart.
