Unloved, to drift through life's my fate;
Of rights deprived, in disrespect,
Exiled forever from Love's fair state.
On Love's fairest I dote: damned and elect.
Never my feeble tongue reveals
Nor may a stolen glance confess,
No sigh escapes this breast that feels
What pauper heart dares to possess.
Solace in stranger night I take,
When the long void day expires;
To the dark I confide my secret desires.
Nightwatch creeps past, in dreams I wake,
When the long void day resumes;
While wordless Love, murderess Love, my heart consumes.
