1. Does anguish still torment his mind
Among the dwellers of the ruins left behind?

2. With a heart so full of grief and pain
Parted by absence that split them in twain

3. His sickness grew, and he's but a shade
Of one admired before love did fade

4. If he who did unjustly blame
Saw whom love devastated, his shame!

5. "I bear you no ill will," he might say
"If passion has led you astray."
