Was filled with one desire alone,

And that was that he should atone[1333]

For this—to woman—foulest[1334] wrong.

So through the night I sped along

Until I reached her house.

And then I heard[1335]

A voice within—his voice! Each word

In sweet and loving tenderness,

And accents that my[1336] heart should bless

Were lavished on her[1337] listening ears.
