Touches not deeply, since the dead they love

Precede them but a stage upon the road

Which they shall tread to-morrow. Yet am I

Young, and thou too, my Gycia; we should walk

The path of life together many years,

But that some strange foreboding troubles me.

For oh, my dear! now that the sun of love

Beams on our days again, my worthless life

Grows precious, and I tremble like a coward
