and thou, who tell'st me to forget

Away! we know that tears are vain,
That death nor heeds nor hears distress:
Will this unteach us to complain?
Or make one mourner weep the less?
And thou - who tell'st me to forget,
Thy looks are wan, thine eyes are wet.

Oh! snatched away in beauty's bloom - Lord Byron
