Byron's Passovers and Nathan's melodies - Lord Byron and Isaac Nathan

Judaism, Wntr, 2002 by Jeremy Hugh Baron

The smiles that win--the tints that glow

So soft--so calm--yet eloquent

A mind at peace with all below -

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A heart whose love is innocent.

She walks in beauty--like the night

Braham and Nathan, pp. 1-12.

Of cloudless climes and starry skies.
