Lord Byron and Getting Old
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.
-- Lord Byron
That is the first stanza of his "So, We'll Go No More A Roving". Although I am not entirely sure of its intended meaning, I read it as an ode to the passing of life, the leaving behind of youth, the woeful decline into old age.
