O Lord I grieve...

And now who cares for me and for my woe

That even time so long may not relieve?

Not for my friendship, but it must be so...

O Lord I grieve...1

Przypisy:

1. The original has: „I tak być musi, choć się tak nie stanie/Przyjaźni mojéj”. The relation of the „friendship” to the rest of the stanza is equally unclear as in this my rendering of it. [przypis redakcyjny]
