Can hold a handkerchief upon your eyes

To hide tumultuous tears, extend your hand

And say farewell forever, cut our lives

Of days or months, fragile and trivial

Asunder—when your hand, your faith, your love

Had cured me of my spirit's desolation,

My terror of this solitude in life—

Or if it cured me not, I had been eased,

And you had gained for giving—what have you

For your decision? Sorrow, if you love me,
