A loyal heart's lament
Whilst in my vast solitude I chanced to see
Your bosom, cold as winter's chilliest breeze,
Ah, see, my loyalty, unshaken, stood by thee,
Despite life's setbacks, which like fleeting seas
Did rage and roar, but soon didst calm and cease.
And in your eyes like sapphire, I thought to find
Mine peace, my unending joy, my heart's release.
But you, O, disloyal friend, didst prove a tease,
Your vows, like sunset-leaves, withered and fell,
And in your eyes, my steadfast love did dwell,
But never descended to my heart's deep well.
Now, the sorrow, tears, and anguish I must tell,
Under the shade of this lonely Oak, I pour
My plaint, and seek a repose in heaven's roar.
