Where all is darkness now, if you see fit

To hope and trust again, and strive again,

You will remember—not our love alone—

But that my faith in God's desire that man

Should trust on his support, (as I must think

You trusted) is obscured and dim through you:

For you are thus, and this is no reward.

Will you not call me to your side, dear Aureole?
