Nothing I did that you care to see,

Nothing I was that deserves a place

In your mind, now I leave you, set you free.

Conceded! In turn, concede to me,

Such things have been as a mutual flame.

Your soul's locked fast; but, love for a key,

You might let it loose, till I grew the same

In your eyes, as in mine you stand: strange plea!

For then, then, what would it matter to me

That I was the harsh, ill-favored one?
