by George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
Turkish tale
Language: English
This rose to calm my brother's cares a message from the Bulbul bears; It says to-night he will prolong For Selim's ear his sweetest song; And though his note is somewhat sad, He'll try for once a strain more glad, With some faint hope his alter'd lay May sing these gloomy thoughts away.
