A letter came to me saying that my love
A letter came to me, it said that my love
had vanished, as was said—utterly.
Has faded, as they say - what fading is this!

So how vile was what the edge of its page contained:
How ugly are the sides of its envelope
a slanderer's scandals in the expanse of its margins.
Scandals of a gossip in the void of margins
