I HAVE THOUGHT ON MY DOOM.
I have thought on my doom—and have saddened;
Oh! I never may meet it and bear!
I have mourned till my spirit hath maddened—
Thus uproused to resist such despair!
Oh! I never may meet it and bear!
I have mourned till my spirit hath maddened—
Thus uproused to resist such despair!
I have mourned with so heavy a mourning,
That a mountain were light to its weight—
I have scorned—with a wild, haughty scorning—
The falsehood that gives me to Fate!
That a mountain were light to its weight—
I have scorned—with a wild, haughty scorning—
The falsehood that gives me to Fate!
I have vowed—I who once could adore thee—
To blight thy false heart to the core—
Even to study how most to abhor thee—
And I love thee ten thousand times more!
To blight thy false heart to the core—
Even to study how most to abhor thee—
And I love thee ten thousand times more!
