Seems life with all its paltry woes;
And nothing but a love like ours
Shall rise with him to heaven’s powers.
I craved to know thy oath austere,
And that it was which brought me here.
Now I shall search it out on high
Among the stars of purest ray
Where it is writ, and shall espy
Thine innocence as bright as they.
I know I acted foolishly,
