No thought but that which wakes thy scorning?

Oh say, was there no happiness

Within thy breast that summer morning,

When from my brow the curl was shred

With hand that shook in joy, and terror;

And love, half hush'd in trembling dread,

Shrunk back, as if to feel were error?

My soul is filled with deep regret,

That I who loved thee so, could doubt thee!

Sweep back thy pride, forgive, forget!
