So,
we’ll go no more a roving
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 its sheath
And the soul wears out the breats
And the heart must pause to breathe
And love itself have rest
Though the night was made for loving
And the day returns too soon
Yet we’ll go no more a roving
By the light of the moon
-George Gordon, Lord Byron-

VII. THEME

VIII. REASON
In this Poem,
we catch a glimpse into the life of a very tired young man. The poet’s late,
sleepless nights of loving have left him completely devoid of all energy. He is
so “harrowed and hurried” that even his heart must pause to catch its breath!
In theory, though it could be argued otherwise, when a heart pauses.. We deem
that a bad thing. One can see Byron’s desire to keep loving and
living all through the night because he tells us that is what the night was
made for and that the sun “returns too soon”. Byron’s eccentric and licentious
living is interrupted by the daylight. He does not welcome the morning sun, but
mourns at its rising. “Yet,” he says “we’ll go no more a roving by the light of
the moon” \ He comes to the realization that he can no longer keep living in
such a way, though that is his desire.
The moral Value :
Byron’s reminds us about
neverending love of a very tired young man. When he loved somebody, his loved
is really sincere and honest. Although his relationship with his girl had
break, he still loved her very much until it kills him. From here, we’re able
to know that love is a powerful and
irresistible force yet something that is not eternal.
