REGRET AND REMORSE.
Regret with streaming eyes doth seem alway
A maiden widowed on her wedding day.
A maiden widowed on her wedding day.
While dark Remorse with eyes too sad for tears
A crushed, desponding Magdalene appears.
A crushed, desponding Magdalene appears.
One with a hungering heart unsatisfied
Mourns for imagined joys that were denied.
Mourns for imagined joys that were denied.
The other pierced by recollected sin,
Broods o'er the scars of pleasures that have been.
Broods o'er the scars of pleasures that have been.
