So we'll go no more a-roving By Lord Byron (George Gordon)

This is another of my favorite poems, although if truth be told, I didn't know it was a poem until many years after I first heard it in a song sung by Joan Baez. This was several decades back when I was a kid, but oh, how I loved this song and I was quite surprised to find it was a poem by the infamous Lord Byron! Perhaps if you take a listen you will like it just as much as a song as the poem itself.

So we'll go no more a-roving By Lord Byron  (George Gordon)

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

For the sword outwears the sheath
And the soul wears out the breast
And the heart must pause to breathe
And love itself must rest

Though the night was made for loving
And the day returns too soon
Still we'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon
