And lovelier things have mercy shown
To every failing but their own,
And every woe a tear can claim
Except an erring sister's shame. - Lord Byron

Come, lay thy head upon my breast and I'll kiss thee unto rest.
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.
