Approaching now the end of his abode	A
On earth Consalvo lay complaining once	B
Of his hard fate but now quite reconciled	C
When in the midst of his fifth lustre o'er	D
His head oblivion so longed for hung	E
As for some time so on his dying day	F
He lay abandoned by his dearest friends	G
For in the world few friends to him will cling	H
Who shows that he is weary of the world	I
Yet she was at his side by pity led	J
In his lone wretchedness to comfort him	K
Who was alone and ever in his thought	L
Elvira for her loveliness renowned	M
And knowing well her power that a look	N
A single sweet and gracious word from her	D
A thousand fold repeated in the heart	O
Devoted of her hapless lover still	P
His consolation and support had been	Q
Although no word of love had she from him	K
E'er heard For ever in his soul the power	D
Of great desire had been rebuked and crushed	R
By sovereign fear So great a child and slave	S
Had he become through his excess of love	T
But death at last the cruel silence broke	U
For being by sure signs convinced that now	V
The day of his deliverance had come	W
Her white hand taking as she was about	X
To leave and gently pressing it he said	J
Thou goest it is time for thee to go	Y
Farewell Elvira I shall never see	Z
Thee more too well I know it so farewell	A2
I thank thee for thy gentle sympathy	Z
So far as my poor lips my thanks can speak	B2
He will reward thee who alone has power	D
If heaven e'er rewards the merciful	C2
Pale turned the fair one at these words a sigh	D2
Her bosom heaved for e'en a stranger's heart	O
A throb responsive feels when she departs	E2
And says farewell forever Fain would she	Z
Have contradicted him the near approach	F2
Of fate concealing from the dying man	G2
But he her thought anticipating said	J
Ah much desired as well thou knowest death	H2
Much prayed for and not dreaded comes to me	Z
Nay joyful seems to me this fatal day	F
Save for the thought of losing thee forever	D
Alas forever do I part from thee	Z
In saying this my heart is rent in twain	I2
Those eyes I shall no more behold nor hear	J2
Thy voice But O Elvira say before	K2
Thou leavest me forever wilt thou not	L2
One kiss bestow A single kiss in all	M2
My life A favor asked who can deny	D2
Unto a dying man Of the sweet gift	N2
I ne'er can boast so near my end whose lips	O2
To day will by a stranger's hand be closed	P2
Forever Saying this with a deep sigh	D2
Her hand beloved he with his cold lips pressed	Q2
	-
The lovely woman stood irresolute	Q2
And thoughtful for a moment with her look	N
In which a thousand charms were radiant	Q2
Intent on that of the unhappy man	G2
Where the last tear was glittering Nor would	Q2
Her heart permit her to refuse with scorn	R2
His wish and by refusal make more sad	Q2
The sad farewell but she compassion took	N
Upon his love which she had known so long	S2
And that celestial face that mouth which he	Z
So long had coveted which had for years	T2
The burden been of all his dreams and sighs	U2
Close bringing unto his so sad and wan	V2
Discolored by his mortal agony	Z
Kiss after kiss all goodness with a look	N
Of deep compassion on the trembling lips	O2
Of the enraptured lover she impressed	Q2
	-
What didst thou then become How in thy eyes	U2
Appeared life death and all thy suffering	H
Consalvo in thy flight now pausing He	Z
The hand which still he held of his beloved	Q2
Elvira placing on his heart whose last	Q2
Pulsations love with death was sharing said	Q2
Elvira my Elvira am I still	P
On earth Those lips were they thy lips O say	F
And do I press thy hand Alas it seems	W2
A dead man's vision or a dream or thing	H
Incredible How much Elvira O	Y
How much I owe to death Long has my love	T
Been known to thee and unto others for	K2
True love cannot be hidden on the earth	X2
Too manifest it was to thee in looks	Y2
In acts in my unhappy countenance	B
But never in my words For then and now	V
Forever would the passion infinite	Q2
That rules my heart be silent had not death	H2
With courage filled it I shall die content	Q2
Henceforth with destiny no more regret	Q2
That I e'er saw the light I have not lived	Q2
In vain now that my lips have been allowed	Q2
Thy lips to press Nay happy I esteem	Z2
My lot Two precious things the world still gives	A3
To mortals Love and Death To one heaven guides	B3
Me now in youth and in the other I	D2
Am fortunate Ah hadst thou once but once	B
Responded to my long enduring love	T
To my changed eyes this earth for evermore	K2
Had been transformed into a Paradise	C3
E'en to old age detestable old age	D3
Could I have been resigned and reconciled	Q2
To bear its heavy load the memory	Z
Of one transcendent moment had sufficed	Q2
When I was happier than the happiest	Q2
But ah such bliss supreme the envious gods	E3
To earthly natures ne'er have given Love	T
In such excess ne'er leads to happiness	F3
And yet thy love to win I would have borne	R2
The tortures of the executioner	D
Have faced the rack and fagot dauntlessly	P
Would from thy loving arms have rushed into	Q2
The fearful flames of hell with cheerfulness	F3
	-
Elvira O Elvira happy he	Z
Beyond all mortal happiness on whom	G3
Thou dost the smile of love bestow And next	Q2
Is he who can lay down his life for thee	Z
It is permitted it is not a dream	Z2
As I alas have always fancied it	Q2
To man on earth true happiness to find	Q2
I knew it well the day I looked on thee	Z
That look to me indeed has fatal been	Q
And yet I could not bring myself midst all	P
My sufferings that cruel day to blame	H3
	-
Now live Elvira happy and adorn	R2
The world with thy fair countenance None e'er	D
Will love thee as I loved thee Such a love	T
Will ne'er be seen on earth How much alas	F3
How long a time by poor Consalvo hast	Q2
Thou been with sighs and bitter tears invoked	Q2
How when I heard thy name have I turned pale	P
How have I trembled and been sick at heart	Q2
As timidly thy threshold I approached	Q2
At that angelic voice at sight of that	Q2
Fair brow I who now tremble not at death	H2
But breath and life no longer will respond	Q2
Unto the voice of love The time has passed	Q2
Nor can I e'er this happy day recall	P
Farewell Elvira With its vital spark	I3
Thy image so beloved is from my heart	Q2
Forever fading Oh farewell If this	F3
My love offend thee not to morrow eve	J3
One sigh wilt thou bestow upon my bier	J2
He ceased and soon he lost his consciousness	F3
Ere evening came his first his only day	F
Of happiness had faded from his sight	Q2
