Here let it fall; I am prepared to suffer;

Would learn betimes what waiteth me in hell.

Voice from the Tower.

Pardon, my loved one, pardon! I am guilty!

Late was thy coming, weary ’twas to wait,

And thus, despite myself, some childish song—

Away with it! What have I to regret?

With thee, my love, with thee a passing space

We lived through; but the memory of that time

I would not change with all earth’s habitants,
