I sought him in that fearful place,
I gaz’d once more upon his face,
Exchang’d one sad farewell—
And then, a crime-stain’d exile, he
Was sent to dwell beyond the sea.
Then, then, I was indeed alone—
Sense, duty, reason, all were gone,
Life was one racking sense of pain,
One only thought dwelt in my brain,
To see my victim-love again.
