The airs of her sighs transcend me to lofty spheres
Through its dark shadow mine pallid face distinguish
Love its mystery painted on my heart's sears
In pain, of love, I fade slowly extinguish
Into sorrowful, murky, gloomy tears
Lost in darkness of dark's sooth
I say to thee if thou love like me, this is thy destiny…
