Opening lines
used in,
Lust: It’s a Sin,
taken from:

Adieu, Adieu!
My Native Shore

Adieu, adieu!
my native shore

Fades o'ver
the waters blue;

The
night-winds sigh, the breakers roar,

And shrieks
the wild sea-mew.

Yon sun that
sets upon the sea

We follow in
his flight;

Farewell
awhile to him and thee,

My native
Land-Good Night!

A few short
hours, and he will rise

To give the
morrow birth;

And I shall
hail the main and skies,

But not my
mother earth.

Deserted is my
own good hall,

Its hearth is
desolate;

Wild weeds are
gathering on the wall;

My dog howls
at the gate.

George Gordon
Lord Byron
