Amor quando fioriaA

HIS GRIEF AT SURVIVING HER IS MITIGATED BY THE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT SHE NOW KNOWS HIS HEARTB
-
-
Yes Love at that propitious timeC
When hope was in its bloomy primeC
And when I vainly fancied nighD
The meed of all my constancyE
Then sudden she of whom I soughtF
Compassion from my sight was caughtG
O ruthless Death O life severeA
The one has sunk me deep in careA
And darken'd cruelly my dayH
That shone with hope's enlivening rayH
The other adverse to my willI
Doth here on earth detain me stillI
And interdicts me to pursueJ
Her who from all its scenes withdrewJ
Yet in my heart resides the fairA
For ever ever present thereA
Who well perceives the ills that waitK
Upon my wretched mortal stateK

Yes Love while hope still bloom'd with me in prideL
While seem'd of all my faith the guerdon nighD
She upon whom for mercy I reliedL
Was ravish'd from my doting desolate eyeD
O ruthless Death O life unwelcome thisM
Plunged me in deepest woeN
And rudely crush'd my every hope of blissM
Against my will that keeps me here belowN
Who else would yearn to goN
And join the sainted fair who left us lateK
Yet present every hourA
In my heart's core there wields she her old powerA
And knows whate'er my life its every stateK
