As o'er the cold sepulchral stone <br />Some name arrests the passer-by; <br />Thus, when thou view'st this page alone, <br />May mine attract thy pensive eye! <br /> <br />And when by thee that name is read, <br />Perchance in some succeeding year, <br />Reflect on me as on the dead, <br />And think my heart is buried here. <br /> <br />September 14, 1809.<br /><br />George Gordon Byron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lines-written-in-an-album-at-malta/
