The horror of that hour

When its lips opened and a sound

Awoke the stillness reigning round

Faint as a dream but the earth shrank

And heaven’s lights shivered ’neath its power

‘Woe for the day Regina’s pride

Regina’s hope is in the grave

And who shall rule my land beside

And who shall save

‘Woe for the day with gory tears

My country’s sons this day shall rue

Woe for the day a thousand years

Can not repair what one shall do

‘Woe for the day’ mixed with the wind

That sad lament was ringing

It almost broke my heart to hear

Such dreary dreary singing

12.

Te vi, criatura, un día de verano,

dejar de pronto tu juego animoso

y yaciendo sin ruido sobre la verde hierba

escuché tus tristes suspiros.

Yo conocía el deseo que alentaba ese lamento.

Yo conocía la fuente en que brotaban esas lágrimas.
