I know that I have done thee wrong -

Have wronged both thee and Heaven -

And I may mourn my lifetime long

Yet may not be forgiven -

Repentant tears will vainly fall

To cover deeds untrue;

But for no grief can I recall

The dreary word - Adieu -

Yet thou a future peace shalt win

Because thy soul is clear;

And I who had the heart to sin

Will find a heart to bear -

Till far beyond earth’s frenzied strife

That makes destruction joy

Thy perished faith shall spring to life

And my remorse shall die

147. De E. W. para A. G. A.[32] / E. W. to A. G. A.

¡Qué pocos corazones, de todos los que te amaron,

se afligen ahora por ti!

¿Y por qué el mío, esta noche, debería agitarse

con esa sensación de congoja?
